🍫✨ MEET CHARLIE & WONKA ✨🍫
And finally… the two we’ve been waiting for.
Meet Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka — the heart and the chaos at the centre of our chocolate-filled adventure🪣🎩
Played by Walter and Jack, both youth members of Attleborough Players, these two have absolutely thrown themselves into their roles. From finding their characters to bringing them to life on stage, they’ve been brilliant from start to finish — and we couldn’t be prouder 💜
We’ve given them a few extra questions this time around… from getting into character to what it’s really like being Charlie and Wonka, plus a few things you probably wouldn’t learn inside a chocolate factory.
So, before the adventure begins, get to know the two at the very centre of it all…
Charlie & Wonka — the wait is over🍫🎩
📍 Connaught Hall, Attleborough
📅 9–16 October

Four very different families, one very mysterious chocolate factory… and plenty of personalities under one roof! 🎭✨
From sweet-toothed Augustus and determined Violet to Veruca’s demands and Mike’s obsession with screens, these families are about to discover that Wonka’s factory isn’t quite what it seems… 👀🍫
Swipe through to meet the people behind the characters, discover their favourite chocolate bars, dream Wonka creations and a few surprises along the way!
Four Golden Ticket winners are here… but there’s still one very important ticket holder to meet 👀🎟️

🍫 2 DAYS TO GO! 🍫
Meet Mr. Salt — devoted dad, businessman and the man who will do anything and everything for his little ballerina🩰
If Veruca wants it, he’ll make it happen. A Golden Ticket? Consider it a done deal 🤝🏼
But even money can’t buy everything… and a certain encounter with some rather opinionated squirrels might prove that! 🐿️👀

Only 2 days to go!

🍫 MEET THE CAST: THE OOMPA LOOMPAS 🍫
Colourful. Mischievous. And always where the action is 👀
Next up in our Meet the Cast series are the factory workers keeping Wonka’s chocolate empire ticking over — the Oompa Loompas! 🌟
They’re always on hand when things get a little… out of hand. Whether it’s a spot of fudge-making, getting a little help from the factory squirrels, or making sure certain visitors get exactly what they deserve…
They may look innocent, but they’ve got plenty of tricks up their sleeves — and when the Oompa Loompas and their squirrelly helpers get involved, you never quite know what’s coming next.
Swipe through to meet the faces behind the factory gates 🌈.
Let’s just say… what happens in the factory stays in the factory. Mostly. 🍫🎭
📅 9th–16th October 2026

🥨 3 DAYS TO GO! 🌭
Meet Augustus Gloop — the Bavarian beefcake with two very important priorities: food and more food! 😂
Never without a snack and always ready for his next bite, Augustus certainly knows how to enjoy the finer things in life.
But a trip to the chocolate lagoon has an unexpected effect… and our hungry Bavarian comes out looking rather more fudge than he went in 👀🍫
Still, there’s a certain sweetness to being candied pork, isn’t there?
