Welcome on board HMS Pinafore, flagship of Her Majesty’s Royal Navy – the perfect place to mock such stalwart institutions as Government, patriotism and even the Great British Class system! No wonder Queen Victoria said of the original production in 1878: “We are NOT amused!”
Josephine, the captain’s daughter, is in love with Ralph, a common sailor. But her social-climbing father insists that she is to marry Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty – whose roving eye has already noticed her. The young lovers are caught as they elope from the ship and Ralph is locked in the ship’s dungeon. Can revelations made by Buttercup, the dockside vendor, enable everyone to marry their true hearts’ loves?
Full to the gunwales with sharp dialogue and catchy tunes, this timeless comic opera is performed outdoors by a cast of 6 outstanding performers on a spectacular nautical set, using Sullivan’s full score.
Running time (approx): 2hr (inc 20 minute interval)
Suitable for all ages.

Jimmy’s inaugural Gala Dinner
Thursday 13 November 2025- University Arms, Regent Street, Cambridge
Register your interest
Marking 30 years of supporting rough sleepers in Cambridge.
Founded in 1995 as Cambridge’s first year-round emergency night shelter, Jimmy’s always has people at the heart of everything we do.
The support Jimmy’s provides makes a substantial difference to the homeless community in Cambridge.
The truth is, we would all hope that our services were no longer needed 30 years on from opening but, sadly the need is more prevalent than ever. A recent survey from Shelter said that homelessness in East Anglia was up 20% in 2024 and we know that at any time in Cambridge there are sadly between 20 and 30 people sleeping rough.
That’s why we need you!
To help celebrate all of the people who have supported Jimmy’s over the last 30 years and to ensure our doors stay open as long as they are needed, we will be hosting our very first Gala Dinner a Cambridge’s iconic and leading hotel, University Arms and we want you to join us!
The event will be one not to miss! We are delighted to have exclusive use of the Ballroom; the evening will be filled with local entertainment along with a silent auction to fundraise for Jimmy’s Cambridge.
Guests will receive a drink on arrival plus a delicious and carefully curated three-course meal by Executive Chef, Lee Clarke, formally known from Prévost and recognised in Michelin Guide, awarded 3 AA rosettes, was noted as one to watch the Good Food Guide that same year and in on the Square Meal Top 100 List 2024.
