This year, we played host to four wonderful festive shows. At the end of November, Humpty Dumpty the Pantomime took over Silsden Town Hall for three nights, attended by almost 500 people. At the beginning of December, touring theatre group The Telling presented What the Dickens, a twist on Charles Dickens' classic, a Christmas Carol. Bradford Concert Band joined us ahead of the Tractor Run to perform The Snowman to a screening of the classic film. Finally, last weekend Alan Beck returned with a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
This year's pantomime was the eighth annual edition produced by Silsden Community Productions. Humpty Dumpty, a traditional family pantomime, was written by Bob Heather and Cheryl Barrett, and produced by Silsden Community Productions in association with Silsden Town Hall.
Chairperson, Ros Driver, said "we all love the pantomime, as I am sure you can tell, and keep returning year after year. This year, we are working alongside Samuel Deakin, Silsden Town Hall and their team in a slightly different way to previous years, to deliver one of our most exciting shows yet. Our pantomime this year is Humpty Dumpty, and of course all elements, including the jokes, are egg-themed - even the character names."
Silsden Community Productions are always looking for people to help make their spectacular pantomimes and productions even better. The Friends of Silsden Town Hall are also in need of regular volunteers to keep their annual programme of events running. If you can help, please get in touch by emailing getinvolved@silsdentownhall.org.uk to let us know what you’re interested in.
