The Friends of Thames Ditton Hospital hope to raise £3,000 with a production of Robin Hood in January.

The pantomime will show at the Vera Fletcher Hall, Thames Ditton, on Saturday, January 15, and money raised will go to toward the hospital appeal.

The Charles Court Opera’s production, sponsored by Dairy Crest, promises toe-tapping numbers from pop to opera.

The money will be used to bring an echo cardiogram service for patients in the Esher and Thames Ditton areas, for heart examinations, to avoid long waits at Kingston Hospital.

Call Karen Randolph on 020 8398 5005 to book tickets.

The £32 tickets include a three-course dinner as well as the show.
