Good clean family fun

A village club with a very big stage.

Every January we turn All Saints Church Hall into a theatre for a traditional family pantomime: good clean fun for children, parents and grandparents alike. With fantastic scenery and professional sound and lighting, it rivals the big star-studded pantos at a fraction of the price. The rest of the year we are writing, painting, building, sewing and rehearsing. Anyone aged 13 or over can join, on stage or off.

Over a century of curtain calls.

Sanderstead Dramatic Club began in 1907, when a small group of theatre lovers met in a house in Mayfield Road. Apart from two world wars and a pandemic, we have been putting on shows ever since.

“This club is very much alive and has come to stay.”
