Pinner Pantomime Evening 2019
Pinner Pantomime Evening is a major event in the Pinner calendar, along with St George’s Day and the Pinner Village Show. This year it will take place on Thursday 28th November. The community evening, now in its 22nd year, is based around Pantomime & Character themes with this year a specially added Elton John Celebration, he was born and schooled in Pinner, embracing his autobiography “Me by Elton John”. It has developed from a Trader led self financing event (intended to signify the lead up to the festive Christmas period), to one including the whole Pinner community, with in 2018 Crowd funding added to the fund raising mix.
The evening commences with the switching on of the Christmas tree lights at 5pm and a large firework display rounds off the evening at 8.15pm.
Brook’s bookshop is involved in the launch of the Elton John autobiography itself. The publishers of the book are also helping with sponsorship of the Pinner Pantomime Evening this year to assist with the special celebration of Elton John, who grew up in Pinner.
This year the School Choirs and Bands taking part will be encouraged to include Elton John music in their repertoires.
Young children are invited to come to the evening this year in character costumes including naturally Elton John, to add more colour and vibrancy to the event.
Participating retailers will also be encouraged to enter into the spirit of this year’s special Elton celebration by creating themed window displays with each retailer picking a song/album/decade as their theme. There will be a window trail for children to follow.
The usual firework finale with its multitude of colourful rockets will this year be a fitting celebration of the Elton John autobiography “Me Elton John” aka “Rocketman”
