The Leckhampton Players is an amateur dramatics company based in Leckhampton, near Cheltenham. Founded in 1947, it performs regularly at Leckhampton Village Hall.[1] Productions typically include a pantomime in January/February each year, a musical show in May/June, and a play (most often comedy/farce) in October.
