Robin Hood & The Fat Friends of Sherwood!

Presented by Fat Friends Football

NYE Theatre @ The Duke of York Military School, Dover

Shows at 2:30pm & 7:30pm

Get ready for a hilarious, feel-good pantomime adventure with Robin Hood & The Fat Friends of Sherwood!

When the greedy Sheriff of Nottingham and the pampered Prince John start squeezing the people of Sherwood with ridiculous taxes, Robin Hood and his not-so-athletic band of Merry Men decide it’s time to fight back.

But this time, saving Sherwood means taking on their biggest challenge yet...a winner-takes-all football match against the Sheriff’s cheating team!

With the larger-than-life Maid Marian leading the laughs, plenty of boos, cheers and “He’s behind you!” moments, outrageous disguises, ghostly surprises and a soundtrack packed with crowd-pleasing songs, this is traditional panto with a brilliantly modern twist.

At its heart is a warm message about friendship, community, having a go and showing up for one another...proving that you don’t have to be the fastest, fittest or finest to be part of the team.

And this isn’t just about putting on a great show. Fat Friends Football are taking to the stage to raise money for STAK bringing the community together for a fantastic cause while having plenty of fun along the way.

Expect laughs, songs, daring deeds, football mayhem, larger-than-life characters and plenty of audience participation.

Will Robin Hood and his Merry Men defeat the Sheriff? Can they save Sherwood? And, most importantly… can they actually win the football match?

There’s only one way to find out!

Sherwood needs YOU!

Join us at the Duke of York’s Theatre, Dover, on Saturday 19th December 2026, with performances at 2:30pm and 7:30pm, for a brilliantly silly, wonderfully warm charity pantomime that the whole family can enjoy.

Come along, cheer them on and help Fat Friends Football raise as much money as possible for STAK.

It’s panto. It’s football. It’s Robin Hood. What could possibly go wrong?
