Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, Jack And The Beanstalk is full of fun!

Yes, we are proud to announce that our 2024/25 pantomime will be the all-time family favourite Jack And The Beanstalk.

Stafford Shakespeare company has announced that its annual production next summer will be The Bard’s much-loved comedy Twelfth Night.

It’s time to take your seat at the Gatehouse for the next 10 years, with our new ‘Name a Seat’ programme.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, mark a special moment, say thank you to a friend, or honour a fellow theatre-lover, naming a seat in the main auditorium is the perfect memento of happy hours spent at the Gatehouse down the years.

The Gatehouse Theatre will receive £1,500 from Tesco’s Stronger Starts scheme that it will use to continue its Classic Film Afternoons this autumn.

The popular Dementia Friendly daytime shows include a classic film, a hot drink and a cake for just £6.00 (or £10 for two). Showings take place on a big screen and this season will feature movie gems such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Some Like it Hot and Rebel Without a Cause.

Our latest Gatehouse Youth Theatre shows have been revealed. Get ready for Chicago, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Matilda The Musical.

It’s our big BEAUTY AND THE BEAST cast announcement – the CBBC legend Mark Rhodes, plus several other star faces!

The Gatehouse is proud to be backing Stafford Rangers into next season. With a new advertising hoarding at the famous Shed End and a sponsorship of the club’s Academy minibus, we’re backing the Boro.
