TAODS’ Little Red Riding Hood Celebrates 90 Years of Community Theatre with Sell-Out Shows and Charity Fundraising

Totnes Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society (TAODS) has marked a major milestone in its history with a hugely successful run of its 2026 pantomime, Little Red Riding Hood, celebrating the society’s 90th year and playing to packed houses at the Civic Hall, with three of its five performances selling out. Founded in 1936 as the Totnes Amateur Operatic and Musical Society, TAODS began its journey with Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance at the Royal Seven Stars Hotel, before staging its first pantomime, Cinderella, at the Old Market Hall in 1953 — a venue whose legacy now lives on in the Civic Hall, where TAODS’ productions have been staged for many years. ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ was written and directed by Gina Tredwell, a member of the TAODS committee. It was a joyful, family-friendly production which brought together a multi-generational cast from across the local community, delivering a fresh, funny and heartfelt take on the much-loved fairy tale. This marks Tredwell’s second pantomime written for the society, alongside her involvement as a performer in previous TAODS productions. Across the five-show run, the pantomime welcomed over 1100 audience members and raised £300 for Totnes Caring, supporting vital…

How to add character to your home for an elevated vibe

If 2026 has a defining interior mood, it’s this: homes are moving away from glossy, “show-home” perfection and back toward spaces that feel human. The good news is that “character” doesn’t have to mean expensive renovations or dramatic statements. It’s usually the layering of a few smart choices. Embrace curated calm with texture and layering “Curated calm” is essentially depth without clutter. Instead of relying on one big feature, it’s built through materials that make a room feel inviting with textures that catch the light and feel good to live with. Easy ways to add instant texture: Swap flat cushions for mixed fabrics (bouclé + linen + a knitted throw). Introduce natural surfaces (a wood side table, a stoneware lamp base, a woven basket). Layer rugs (or choose one with visible weave and subtle patterning). Add “soft contrast” with warm neutrals and earthy tones rather than stark white-on-white.
Add architectural interest through colour, panelling and doors Character often comes from the little details that make a space feel designed, not just decorated. Paint is the simplest tool here: colour-drenching, warmer earthy palettes, and bolder-but-balanced tones are all being pushed as 2026-friendly…
