OH NO THEY DIDN'T! OH YES WE DID!

The Pantaloons are back for their first ever performance in 'The Orangery' with...

EVERY CHRISTMAS MOVIE EVER

Wednesday 2nd December
Doors open at 6.30pm. The performance starts at 7.30pm

Tickets are only available from https://thepantaloons.co.uk/

Food and beverages available in 'The Orangery'.

Only food and beverages bought in 'The Orangery' can be consumed in the venue.

Join The Pantaloons for a heartfelt and hilarious festive parody!

An Atlantic-spanning fairy tale of New York and London full of romance, magic, music, puppetry and all the big questions… Is the new business pitch really more important than spending time with family? Just who is that old guy with the white beard? Will the school nativity play be ready in time? And will those booby-traps be enough to see off the burglars?

All these and many more painfully familiar questions will be answered in this treasure trove of tinsel-tinted tropes. Yule laugh, yule cry, yule cringe at the puns.

Team work! Our threshing machine was skilfully reversed under the canopy by Andrew Willoughby using Rigsby Farming’s tractor by courtesy of Paul Read. After a further clean down it will eventually be placed back in the “Barn”

Thank you to all our visitors who joined us today to watch the Tour of Britain Cycle Race 2026. It was a very special occasion to share with so many.

We were especially delighted to be joined by year 6 pupils from Alford Primary School who gave a very enthusiastic welcome to the cylists.

We look forward to you joining us for the Tractor Run and Threshing Day.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TEAROOM WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER.

The Tractors will start to arrive at the Manor House from 8.30 am onwards giving enthusiasts the time to look at these beautiful machines. There is an estimated departure time of 9am depending on how well these vintage tractors behave! They will then make their way to Farmer Browns.
