ahoy ship mate!

February 10, 2026

great work to all involved – best panto we’ve seen in a long time

Well done!

February 10, 2026

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

February 8, 2026

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?

Funny and entertaining from start to finish, the effort put in from all the cast and crew really shines through!

Another great panto Me Hearty's!

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

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.

The fabulous Cinderella .

February 10, 2025

What a marvellous evening of family entertainment.You were all marvellous and you all made it come alive.There were great costumes and there was wonderful use of the stage..

The food (and wide range of hot and cold drinks ) including hot dogs and ice cream and popcorn amongst other delicious items were a treat .

It was wonderful seeing the whole team working together to provide more fun that I have seen on the tv for years .Congratulations to everyone ….All power to your elbow ( or foot in the case of Cinderella) for your next performance which i will be delighted to come along to .

Good luck and thanks again .

Tip! Top! Performance!

February 10, 2025

What a fantastic pantomine—absolutely brilliant from start to finish! The lighting was stunning, and the costumes were great. It’s hard to pick a fav character, but if I had to, it would have to be either Buttons (or should I say Buttocks!) or the really funny Step Mother!

And of course… You don’t touch the box, you leave the box alone! 😆

We came Saturday evening and thoroughly enjoyed every minute! The dedication and passion of the entire cast and crew was evident throughout. A great group working together! Incredible performances by all on the stage, especially Alice and the Baron and definitely the wicked Stepmother who had us in stitches!!

February 10, 2025

We came on Saturday afternoon and had the best time. All of the cast had obviously worked so hard to put on such an entertaining show. The Dame was hilarious and special shout outs to Buttons, Cinderella and Prince Charming but everyone was great. So much fun for all ages, we will definitely be back next year!
