As the name suggests we are a company dedicated to the art of traditional British Pantomime. Based at the Concordia Theatre, Hinckley (one of the finest amateur theatres in the United Kingdom), the company produces the annual spectacular traditional pantomime at the venue. Pantomime Company was formed in 1997 to continue the strong tradition of pantomime already established at the Concordia Theatre by previous companies and is now affiliated with both the Concordia Theatre & The National Operatic & Dramatic Association (NODA).
Playing for 26 performances the shows consistently attract full houses. Pantomime Company productions represent the very best standards in amateur theatre, with specially designed scenery and costumes, professionally produced musical arrangements, and quality scripts. The amateur cast regularly appear opposite international speciality acts.

Introducing our 2026 panto production – ‘DICK WHITTINGTON’
January 2026 sees us returning to one of the classic pantos – ‘DICK WHITTINGTON’ probably one of the only pantomime tales based on historical facts (loosely!) Set in medieval London it tells the tale of a poor boy – Dick Whittington – who arrives in the capital seeking fame and fortune and ends up finding love and a faithful feline – Tommy the Cat before ending up as Lord Mayor of London! Full of the usual glitz and glamour you would expect from a Concordia Panto – ‘DICK WHITTINGTON’ will run from January 15th through to February 7th, 2026.
