Plays in the Park 2010

Be enchanted by the magic of open air theatre amongst the stunning setting of the Abbey Gardens. With two Shakespearean performances, a Charles Dickens classic, a Jane Austen romance and the two family fun plays Beauty and The Beast and Robin Hood; there is something for all to enjoy!

Bring your family and friends and join us in the Abbey Gardens with your blankets, low backed chairs, scrummy picnics and something chilled to drink and be transported away to worlds of romance, mystery, comedy and fairytales on a fine summer evening.
