It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
🚨 Panto Prop Alert… 🚨
During rehearsals we’ve discovered the following:
🐥 Goose feet
🎭 Suspicious panto props
🩲 …and something rather large that nobody wants to explain.
We’re not asking questions.
We’re just inviting you to come and see how this possibly fits into the story.

💚🏃 A Huge Thank You to Kyle Price!
Everyone at Great Oaks Hospice would like to say a massive thank you to Kyle Price, who will be taking on the Newport Half Marathon on Sunday 19th April in support of the hospice.
By choosing to run for Great Oaks, Kyle is helping raise vital funds that allow us to continue providing free care and support to people across the Forest of Dean.
Kyle has set up a JustGiving page, so if you are able to support him with a donation, it would be hugely appreciated. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a real difference.
👏 Good luck Kyle — we’re all behind you and incredibly grateful for the effort you’re putting in to support the hospice.
