WELCOME TO THE HOGHTON PLAYERS OFFICIAL WEBSITE

The Hoghton Players is an amateur dramatics group from the village of Hoghton, near Preston, in Lancashire. We look to perform at least 2 plays per year to suit all tastes.

Whether you are due to watch one of our performances for the first time or, like many, you are returning to watch us again, you are very welcome and we would like to thank everyone who has been involved over the years and to all of our supporters across the country.

We are pleased to announce that our next production will be 

"BLACKADDER GOES FORTH"

By Richard Curtis & Ben Elton, adapted for the stage by Alistair Cheetham.

"It's 1917 and waiting in fear of the dreaded order to go 'over the top' from the patently insane General Melchett, Captain Edmund Blackadder devises several attempts to escape the banality of the trenches.With the gallant-but-dumb Lieutenant George and the even dumber Private Baldrick, the trio's efforts to evade their inevitable fate involve a plump-breasted pigeon, the Royal Flying Corps, a libido-driven air hero, as well as the constant offer of a cunning plan...."

Auditions / Readings will take place on

Thursday 22nd May 2025 & Tuesday 3rd June 2025 at The Hoghton Village Hall,

starting at 7:30pm.

We would like all actors to portray the characters as close to the "originals" as possible.

If you are interested but can't attend these dates, then please contact the Director, Stuart Lockhart, on stuart.lockhart@thehoghtonplayers.co.uk

Please help to Improve "our Home"

To provide an extra entrance to the Village Hall which will allow access to each meeting room separately. New toilets will be provided with this project with full disabled facilities.

Cloakroom and toilet facilities will be accessed from either meeting room. Separate groups using the hall will no longer need to share the entrance for access to their meeting rooms. All materials will meet environmentally green criteria and fixtures and fittings will be low water usage and low voltage lighting and power.

Windows and doors will also meet up to date insulated standards. The eventual external features will fit in with the existing building and meet planning for the area.

If you can spare anything from £2 upwards, please click on the link below
