Welcome to Octopus!

Octopus is an award winning, welcoming, supportive, inclusive and sociable drama group based in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire. Since 1971, we have been entertaining our town with a selection of Pantomime, Drama and Comedy productions.

Take a look at our next production starting 7th January 2026, Cinderella, and our rich back catalogue of productions here.

Octopus recently finished its 2025 play, The Village Hall, directed by Sue Smith.

Cast and crew worked incredibly hard to stage the performance and the feedback from the audience each performance was amazing. Well done all!

Octopus are honoured to receive the Peter Wheeldon Memorial Trophy for a Company Crafted Production, for our production of “A Bunch Of Amateurs”. Click here to find out more.
