Our next performance
The Fordingbridge Float Off...
... the duck race goes pear-shaped after the earlier Pooh sticks event created a dam.
Location: Fordingbridge Recreation Ground
Date: 18th July 2026 (Part of the Fordingbridge Summer Festival)
Time: 2 performances throughout the day - no ticket required!
This live radio play with sound effects will make the audience believe they’re in the park next to the Avon, which they are. The top secret hush hush storyline follows the Duck Race organisers struggling to dismantle a dam built inadvertently by Park Runners. Two short performances. Heavens, what larks.

Norman the Conqueror
The play is Cast!
Following 2 brilliant audition sessions, we now have our Cast for our ambitious new production Norman the Conqueror. This is one of the largest Casts in the history of Fordingbridge Players, and even so, some of our talented actors are taking multiple roles. The numerous character will be portrayed by a variety of actors: young people playing the elderly, adults playing 12 year olds, ladies playing gentlemen - it was clear from the auditions that we have many talented character actors to call upon.
What’s the show about?
Audiences with witness 91‑year‑old Norman in 2020, as he looks back on his life in wartime Southampton during 1940—through moments both dramatic, tender, humorous and moving. This richly layered play is rooted in real events, and has a special connection to Fordingbridge through Norman’s marriage to a local girl, giving it truly personal resonance.
Save the dates - 28th to 31st October 2026
Tickets will go on sale after the summer, join our mailing list to get early bird availability, but put the dates in your diary now!
