Woodford Community Centre, Chester Road, Woodford. SK7 1PS 10am – 4pm each day 4th and 5th October 2025.
The course for the two days will be £25, please bring your own lunch but tea, coffee, biscuits etc will be provided.
Jude will be heading up this course and helped by Fran Dykes from Macclesfield ADS and Jane Lennox from The Carver Theatre, Marple. Fran has a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to sorting out costumes, she also looks after MADS’ extensive wardrobe.
Jane Lennox of Carver Theatre will be bringing some Panto costumes and tell us about organising and executing a Panto costume plot – Oh yes she will!
The course is open to both seasoned wardrobe people and newbies, all welcome. It’s fair to say though, that it is aimed mainly at those who would like a go at wardrobe but are uncertain about what is involved. We aim to give as much information as possible, answer all your questions and have some fun into the bargain! Wardrobe malfunctions come in all shapes and sizes and happen to the best of us honestly! Admittedly, some are distinctly unfunny but quite often they are hilarious so they will be given an airing too.
We look forward to seeing you. This is a ticketed event and the The booking form is here
Woodford Community Centre has a large car park and is all on one level, no steps and has accessible facilities. map
