We’re back on stage in May – and you can now buy your tickets to see Ladies’ Day by Amanda Whittington at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from 26th to 28th May 2022.
In this heart-warming comedy, life is one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes are set to change when they head to Ladies’ Day at York Racecourse. Factory hairnets make way for fascinators as the four friends hit the races for an unforgettable day out.
Secrets are spilled with the champagne and friendships are tested to the limit. Yet as the day unfolds and tempers fray, their accumulator bet keeps quietly winning. If their luck and their nerve holds, the ladies could could hit the jackpot – and more.
Tickets cost £10 (£9 concessions) and can be pre-booked here.

We love auditions, we really do! So much so that we’re having another one on Wednesday 1st September.
We’re still looking for two female actors to join our cast for Ladies’ Day by Amanda Whittington, which will be performed at the Broadbent Theatre in Wickenby from Wednesday 25th to Saturday 28th May 2022.
The play is set in a fish packing factory in Hull and York Races so the main roles really could do with a Hull accent (we’ll have help with this!). The two parts available are as follows:
Jan, mid-forties
Linda, early to mid-twenties
If you’d like to audition come to St Mary Le Wigford Church, St Mary’s Street, Lincoln LN5 7AR (next to the railway station) at 7:30pm on Wednesday 1st September.
If you are unable to come but would like to be considered, please email su.toogood@ntlworld.com.
