Follow the Yellow Brick Road this August
We have created a video to explain how our upcoming production Follow the Yellow Brick Road works.
Join Connie Burgess, one of our Dorothys, as she guides you through our interactive experience running from Thu 17 – Sun 27 Aug.
She explains everything you need to know about the performance as you travel through Bracknell – from South Hill Park to The Lexicon.
Watch the video on our YouTube Channel here and book tickets today.

Bracknell Pride 2023
We had an amazing time at the first ever Bracknell Forest Pride last Saturday. The cast of our Easter production, Kinky Boots, came back together to sing some fabulous songs, and South Hill Park had a stall where we raised £150 for South Hill Park Trust.
It was wonderful to celebrate and support the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community so thank you to Bracknell Forest Council and The Lexicon for having us.

Summer School funded spaces
This year, we have teamed up with Artemis College who are providing free spaces to our fabulous Summer School in July-Aug.
If you are aged 16-18, you have the opportunity to complete a performing arts qualification during your summer school experience and be fully supported by the Artemis College teaching staff.
All students will work towards bringing a full-blown production of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (Teen Edition) to life. So, why not take this chance to have an amazing summer and gain a qualification along the way? For more information about the free course and to apply, visit here.

50th anniversary throwback
This month’s memory of South Hill Park is from Doreen Hogston. Doreen has only lived in the area for 4 years with her husband, but they have taken their grandson to our pantomime every year on New Year’s Eve since moving, and have great memories.
We love to hear about how our Christmas pantomime brings families together to celebrate the festive season!
