Cannock Wood and Gentleshaw Musical Society (CWAGMS) is proud to present The Railway Children Return Ticket, a new musical series years after the classic Railway Children. Burntwood Memorial Hall audiences will enjoy familiar faces, fresh characters and Christmas from 10 to 13 December 2025.
Following the closure of the Prince of Wales Theater in Cannock, CWAGMS has moved to the Burntwood Memorial Hall in Rugeley Road, Burntwood, continuing a 48 year tradition of community theater and charity performances.
Founded nearly five decades ago by local church families, CWAGMS has performed over 90 shows and earned recognition for its commitment to community and philanthropy worldwide.
Set against the backdrop of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, Railway Children Return Ticket follows the next generation of young performers as they discover adventures at the iconic railway station. The production features a mix of beloved songs, new characters and a celebration suitable for all ages.
“Moving our shows to Burntwood Memorial Hall has shown the resilience and spirit of our cast and volunteers. We are thrilled to bring The Railway Children Return Ticket to local families this festive season.” says John Nicholls, Musical Director of CWAGMS
“Despite the disruption caused by the venue change, CWAGMS remains dedicated to producing high-quality theater that supports charity and community. We invite everyone to join us for a magical performance.” Sharron Burns, Director of CWAGMS added
