A great show for all the family

February 16, 2026

This is the second Nova pantomime we have seen and once again it was great fun with lots of laughs and audience participation. All of the cast were brilliant and you could see they were having as much fun as the audience. Everyone front of house was very helpful and friendly and there was a choice of refreshments available throughout the show. Our group age ranged from the 20’s to the 80’s and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will be back next year!

Amazing family panto

February 16, 2026

We’ve been for two years now and will be back next year for sure! Lovely, welcoming, family atmosphere and the kids are made to feel welcome and so involved too. Everyone is really talented and as a family we look forward to it each year. Thank you and well done to everyone (especially our lovely Kerry who works so hard and performs so well every time ❤️😊)

Haven’t been to the panto since kids were tiny, this panto was so above my expectations!

Great script, really funny in places.

Highlight was Silly Billy’s music scene. So well written and music choice and acted.

Also loved the sausage machine!

Great fun.

Am booking for Snow White, we may do the adult version too!!!

Well done Team Nova Panto

Well done!

This was a great panto! We’ve seen all of Nova’s shows and this one was just as funny and entertaining as the rest. The guy who plays the dame is brilliant as always 😂 The swing at the end… omg!! Also the pirate was very well played she could have been a real pirate!

Only small thing we didn’t like was that they didn’t bring the kids up at the end, but overall well done, great show and we’ll definitely be back for Snow White 👍

Great panto

Had an enjoyable afternoon with my son and grandchildren watching the panto. Lots of laughs and things to join in with and was lovely to see my grandchildren watching their mum (my D-I-L) Kerry perform and sing in her part as Jim Hawkins. Looking forward to watching Snow White with them next year.

A wonderful afternoon watching Nova Pantomine Group in Treasure Island in Hinstock.

All the cast members were brilliant, making it funny and entertaining for all the family.

This is our 2nd visit to this pantomine and absolutely fabulous……

Well worth visiting……

A story of adventure, family, pirates and the search for treasure!

What more can you ask for?

Another great panto Me Hearty's!

February 8, 2026

We have been going to this panto for years and we absolutely love it. Its got such a family feel as all cast and crew make us feel so at home. New members of the family now coming along. Lots of goodys at interval too, candy floss, ice creams, cans of pop sweets chocolate all very reasonably priced. Cannot wait for next year Snow White.

Spectacular Pantomime Performance

February 8, 2026

I was laughing so hard I couldn’t speak! A literally breathtaking taking performance 🙂

Drink up me hearties yo ho

February 8, 2026

First panto I’ve seen in years, and what a silly old time it was. Good times, good vibes all around. You can tell this was a labour of love, and it there were plenty of jokes for the adults as well as the kids. For the first performance, this was a great start for this particular run of shows.

Mrs Hawkins. What a dame, what a diva. A great reminder of why it is a panto staple and an absolute classic.

Finally: Long Jan Silver has got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen.

A swashbucklingly fantastic adventure

February 8, 2026

A superb pantomime! There were laughs, jokes, singing and swinging of swords and the dame swinging from the ceiling. Long Jan Silver was the best pirate I’ve ever seen in a show! Great entertainment. 10/10 would return again

We loved the Treasure Island performance!

Amazing performances, amusing script, fantastic set, and a lovely friendly vibe.

It was our first visit to your panto but it won’t be our last.

Congratulations to all involved.

Amazing all round

February 8, 2026

This was my first pantomime since my husbands neuro diagnosis and it was just amazing. We sat at the back to minimise disruption if my husband couldnt cope, but everyone there was so supportive and helpful and my husband and I had an amazing time. The pantomime was engaging and fun. I would highly recommend this to anyone. I cant remember the last time I laughed so much. Thank you, see you next time.
