We are excited to welcome back Folksy Theatre for this special production of a classic, Midsummer Night’s Dream. Love, laughter, and a little bit of lunacy — enter a world where fairies meddle, lovers quarrel, and magic runs wild! This summer, join us for a breathtaking open-air performance of William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In the heart of an enchanted forest, four young lovers flee the constraints of society and stumble into a realm ruled by mischievous fairies, feuding royalty, and a troupe of would-be actors with more enthusiasm than talent. What follows is a wild night of mistaken identities, magical transformations, and love gone deliciously wrong — enjoy Shakespeare’s dazzling verse and Folksy’s twist of live music, audience interaction and frantic multi-rolling! Gates will open at 6:00pm and the performance will begin at 7:00pm. Our café will be open for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, along with a selection of light snacks. Tickets Adult – £20 plus fees Child (3-16) – £13 plus fees 2’s and under – Free Appropriate for all ages. Booking required. Important information The performance will be taking place outside on our lawn, rain or shine, so please come dressed for the weather. No seating is provided so you will need to bring your own chairs and/or blankets with you to sit on. You are also welcome to bring in snacks and refreshments for a picnic. We do not allow umbrellas as these can block the view for others. There is step free access from our car park to the lawn, and the lawn itself is also flat, for easy access. There are flat paths throughout the gardens and accessible toilet facilities. The museum has a private Pay & Display car park. All parking is paid for on arrival either online, over the phone or by using the onsite machine. Onsite parking is limited and there will not be overspill parking available. We recommend taking public transport if possible. There will be reserved spaces for Blue Badge holders in our carpark. Please plan your journey accordingly!
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
