Dymchurch Players stretches back to 1984…

Since our first production we've performed 73 shows, including 35 pantos and 38 plays. Every year we aim to put on a play and a panto for the local community of Dymchurch.

Here's a cutting from the Folkestone Herald promoting our first ever pantomime in 1988! newspaper cutting from 1988 promoting Hickory Dickory Dock
