The Village Players is a small amateur theatre group based in Pilning Village Hall. We have been established for almost 30 years, drawing our membership from a wide area in South Gloucestershire and beyond. We pride ourselves that so many of our younger members have been so inspired by us, and by what they learn whilst with us, that they have gone on to a professional study of theatre /performance arts at universities and to employment in this field. We have always welcomed anyone who has shown an interest in what we do and have never turned anyone away. Our membership ranges from young people in their first decade to the more senior in their ninth! Our shows are generally well attended by the local and wider community and our pantomimes have been known to be so much of a sell-out that we have had to add extra dates to accommodate all our customers. We believe that we provide a service to the community, both for our members, in terms of skills, training and for our audiences, in terms of value for money entertainment. many of our customers say they would prefer to come to see us, with our friendly family atmosphere, than go to the Bristol Hippodrome; praise indeed, we feel!
