| Henham Players came
about by a chance remark by Rene Warren to Di Sammons at a New Years Day
Party in 1992 when she said, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a village
pantomime." A year later in January 1993, Cinderella, produced
by Di, was the first pantomime to be performed. The Players had to
borrow £300 to put on the production. The loan was repaid in March
of that year and the group have been in credit ever since. |
| The annual
pantomime is now a village institution. Performances take place on a
Friday evening early in January, a matinee on the Saturday afternoon and
the final one in the evening. All three are usually sold out well in
advance with the Saturday evening the most popular for some reason. |
