Formed in 1992, The Valley Troupers have staged a wide variety of productions at Northleigh's Village Hall. A one-night entertainment at the Harvest supper that year has grown into a regular annual production.

Rehearsals at Northleigh's village hall usually start at 7.45pm each Thursday evening from mid September until performance dates in late March or early April.

'Allo 'Allo is set in René's café in the small French town of Nouvien during WWII. The Germans have acquired a valuable painting of 'The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies' by Van Klomp. The town Commandant intends to sell it after the war and forces René to hide it. Herr Flick of the Gestapo also wants to sell it, while the new General wishes to present it to Hitler to mark a visit to Nouvien. But the painting is duplicated by a forger and hidden in a knockwurst sausage. Lt Gruber fancies René, who parries his advances while trying to keep affairs with his two waitresses secret from his wife Edith. The Colonel and Flick both use the glamorous Helga to obtain information while Capt. Alberto just enjoys being Latin and randy with it. Meanwhile, there is pressure from London and the Resistance to evacuate two downed British airmen, aided by a parrot seller and a police inspector on a mission to murder the French language. But you know all this already, don't you...?
