Did you know that next year Witney Dramatic Society will be celebrating 80 years of entertaining Witney.

Did you also know that some of the halogen lights we currently use in our productions are almost as old as the society itself?

We are therefore looking to replace them with more flexible LED lighting which as well as being more reliable, will also significantly reduce our environmental impact.


If you are able help us by making a donation, no matter how small, we would be grateful.


You can find out more about our project and make a donation via the following link - Thank you

The Wind in the Willows

The Wind in the Willows

Witney Dramatic Society is proud to present:

The Wind in theWillows

a Pantomime by Limelight Scripts

On:  On: Thursday 18th, Friday 19th and Saturday 20th February 2027

Matinèe times TBC 

Place: Witney Methodist Church, 40 High Street, Witney, OX28 6HG

A Fun-Filled Family Pantomime

Join us for a wonderfully wild adventure along the riverbank as Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved classic, The Wind in the Willows, gets the full pantomime treatment! Packed with laughter, colourful characters, mischief and mayhem, this delightful tale promises fun for the whole family.

Meet the gentle Mole, his loyal friend Ratty, the wise old Badger and, of course, the outrageously extravagant Mr Toad! With his larger-than-life personality, endless enthusiasm and talent for getting into trouble, Toad is never far from disaster. His latest madcap antics are enough to drive his long-suffering friends to distraction, but there's even bigger trouble brewing in the Wild Wood!

The dastardly Ratfang, Chief of the Weasels, and his sneaky gang have taken over the magnificent Toad Hall! With their beloved home in enemy hands, Toad and his faithful friends must summon all their courage, cunning and teamwork to outwit the villains and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. But with Toad's unpredictable behaviour, things are unlikely to go quite according to plan!

Will our heroes defeat the wicked weasels? Can Toad stay out of trouble long enough to save the day? And will peace ever return to the riverbank?

Bursting with traditional pantomime humour, hilarious escapades, plenty of audience participation and a generous helping of "Oh no you didn't!", The Wind in the Willows is a heartwarming celebration of friendship, bravery and the importance of sticking together.

So gather your family and friends, get ready to cheer the heroes, boo the baddies and join us for a toad-ally terrific adventure!



See you there!

On the door


It’s a tale as old as time, but with a twist!


Step into the magic of ‘Beauty and the Beast’, a pantomime by Limelight Scripts.  Prepare for an adventure filled with love, laughter, and a touch of magic in this timeless tale, packed with delightful characters, hilarious comedy, and heartwarming moments.

Join the spirited and kind-hearted Belle, as she discovers the hidden beauty within the cursed Prince George known as Beast, thanks to actions of the wicked Witch Greenfly. At the Beast’s castle, Belle encounters the enchanted household such as the sassy Candlestick and ever-punctual Clock, who bring the magic of the castle to life. Along the way, you’ll also meet the outrageously funny Madame Bidet, the flamboyant Frenchman Pepe, and the self-absorbed Danton who schemes to win Belle’s hand.


Don’t miss our production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’.  It’s the perfect treat for the whole family, a laugh-out-loud, feel-good pantomime that will have you cheering for love and booing the baddies!


See you there!
