Members of Woodford Pantomime completed a Dick Whittington-themed sponsored walk through London in September to raise funds for future productions.

“With rising costs and shrinking arts funding, we’ve turned to creative fundraising to keep the curtain rising,” said a spokesperson. To reflect the group’s next performance – which will take place from 1 to 11 January 2026 – the 12km walk began at the Dick Whittington statue in Holloway.

The amateur company has been performing at the Hawkey Hall since 1962.
