Enter into a dream of magic, mischief, and a touch of darkness as we take you on a gothic journey through Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream NIGHTMARE!

We will transport you to a world where goblins and supernatural creatures roam the enchanted woods, and nothing is quite as it seems.Dive into the eerie, mysterious side of Shakespeare’s classic  play. We explore the darker corners of the story, with music, thrilling movement, and an ensemble performance that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. Get ready for an unforgettable evening under the stars, where the supernatural comes to life and anything can happen.

Back by popular request!

Bring your own picnic, rugs and chairs and enjoy an evening of Southern Rock, Blues and Soul music.

Welcome to VANITY FAIR – a giddy carousel of social climbers, buffoons and preening dandies.

This dazzling new adaptation of Thackeray’s tale of greed, ambition, love and betrayal – with live-performed music – will transport audiences from Regency salons and ballrooms to the battlefield of Waterloo!

Strange Fascination Theatre return with an exciting version of the popular classic science fiction novel, ‘The War of the Worlds’.

In the early part of the 20th Century, strange flashes are seen emanating from the planet Mars, headed towards Earth. Soon, cylinders crash on our planet, and from them, mighty fighting machines: tripods, alien monstrosities with one aim: Destroy humanity and claim our world as their own. Will anyone survive? And can humanity fight back?

Suitable for ages 12 and upwards, the show runs at 1 hour 15 mins.  Pack a picnic and watch the skies!

Being a teenager is a difficult time in your life. Take Perseus for example. An impoverished, but ambitious young lad, from a single parent home, has to try and make his way in the world while dealing with the delusions of his mother. She insists that they are royalty, and his father was a God! How is he supposed to live up to that?

Andromeda would love to be left alone, but being actual royalty, she has duties, like marriage, and a mother who is insufferably vain. Embarrassing enough, but when she starts including her daughter in her vain boasts life is about to get a lot more dramatic for the young girl.

Then there are the Gods. They are starting to take an interest in all of these goings on. That rarely makes things easier, they do have a way of making things more difficult…

Bring a blanket or chair and a picnic and non alcoholic drink.  No smoking and no alcohol in the Garden.

Transport – There are car parks near to Plantation Gardens. You need a smart phone to pay. Alternatively it is a short walk from Car Parks in the City and buses stop nearby on Earlswood Road.

If IT RAINS too much we will take a decision on the day to cancel by noon. We will publicise this through the Newsletter and Social media and the Website.

Last year this was a great event  – there was some cloud but it didn’t rain! We look forward to seeing you all again.
