Tonight’s surprise performer:
Highcliffe Charity Players
The 20th evening of the 2023 CLAC programme at the Druitt Hall saw a wonderful performance by the Highcliffe Charity Players which included a word perfect cameo from the famous Panto Kids.
The capacity audience enjoyed a mixture of festive and other lively musical numbers. The benefitting charity was Bournemouth Blind Society whose CEO, Philip Tarrant, received a cheque for £500 from President Nigel of Bransgore Rotary, the sponsors for the evening.
Those attending enjoyed excellent refreshments generously provided by Baccello and were tricked into thinking that a white Christmas had arrived early thanks to an artificial snow storm which covered them as they left.
Tomorrow’s event will be at the Thomas Tripp and will benefit Christchurch Cancer Research.

20th December’s surprise performers:
Highcliffe Charity Players
Highcliffe Charity Players have been entertaining audiences in Highcliffe and Christchurch for over 50 years, all while raising money for local causes.
Their annual pantomime at the Regent Centre is a community staple, filled with toe tapping musical numbers, sumptuous costumes and a healthy dose of slapstick. The Players are currently in rehearsal for Robin Hood, which plays from the 26th – 28th of January at the Regent Centre.
Highcliffe Charity Players performed show-stopping collection of festive favourites, complete with their trademark high energy routines and dazzling smiles.
