About The Players
The Loddon Players, formed originally in 1975 as Loddon Pantomime Players, is a NODA award winning community amateur dramatics group, based in Loddon in South Norfolk.
Our latest regional award from NODA was in 2023 – Best Panto for Mother goose.
Our productions are performed in the Lecture Hall Adjacent to St Johns Chapel, George Lane, Loddon although on occasion we have performed at both Langley School and in earlier years at Hobart High School.
Prior to the onset of COVID lockdowns, we aimed to perform at least one production a year – in most years that was a pantomime. We have also performed summer plays and variety shows, raising over £78,000 for charities and local good causes.
