Broadside Mummers were formed well over 20 years ago by a group of
regulars at the Broadside Folk Club in Portsmouth.
Each year we put on a play in the pubs in and around the Portsmouth area.
We started by performing traditional plays and then began to adapt them
to suite our own inimitable style. We now perform plays written in
the “traditional style” by one of our members.
There are several reasons why we do this, one of which is to raise money
for local charitable causes, another is hopefully to entertain the public
and last but by no means least, because we enjoy it!
Our charity for the last few years has been the Elizabeth Foundation
at Cosham, who do wonderful work for deaf children and their families
and deserve every penny we can collect for them.
So please come and see us and if you have enjoyed the entertainment,
please be generous when we put the hat round at the end of the play.
The Elizabeth Foundation will be very Grateful.
