Dad’s Army Radio Show
Sunday 4 May 2pm
Two Sisters’ Theatre
The nation’s favourite sitcom on stage! The boys are delighted to head to The Festival Theatre with three new episodes.
Two actors, two microphones, over twenty-five characters – and lots of sound effects! Dad’s Army Radio Show brings Perry and Croft’s classic BBC comedy to life in this highly acclaimed stage production.
Three episodes of the popular sitcom – adapted for radio for the very first time – are hilariously and lovingly enacted on stage by two master performers – complete with sound effects, vintage music and all your favourite Perry and Croft characters and catchphrases.
The original television episodes newly minted for The Dad’s Army Radio Show national tour 2024 are:
- The Love of Three Oranges
- The Miser’s Hoard
- The Making of Private Pike
As seen on Dad’s Army: The Animations (UKTV Gold), David Benson (Goodnight Sweetheart and One Man, Two Guvnors ) and Jack Lane (Wisdom of a Fool and 7 Days) will transport you right back to Walmington.

Two Sisters’ Theatre
Located on the Two Sister’s Lawn, our theatre has…
One continuous roof, every auditorium seat is undercover and allocated. The roof section over the auditorium is transparent so you will be able to enjoy the full vista, as you watch The Stars on stage!
We can close our walls for events outside the summer months. The walls are clear so you still feel you are in the beautiful garden just with protection from the weather.
Please check our access page for further information.
The theatre bar will be open before the event and during the interval (if the show has one) for hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice cream.
Afternoon Tea
