Open Air Theatre - The Handlebards present 'Twelfth Night'

What: Join The HandleBards at Riverhill for a bicycle-powered, laugh-out-loud production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

 Where: The Walled Garden.

When: Saturday 11th June. Performance starts: 5:00, picnics from 4:00

Price: For all ticket info please visit Eventbrite

Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she won’t have anything to do with suitors. Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother Sebastian to be dead. Meanwhile, a bunch of Olivia’s servants plot to make a fool out of her pompous butler, Malvolio. There’s drunkenness, frivolity and cross-dressing a plenty.

 Our gorgeous Walled Garden, with its amphitheater style terraces, is the perfect setting for some Shakespeare under the stars. Usually the terraces are roped off to visitors, but on theatre nights you get to enjoy the wonderful views as you picnic in style with friends and family before settling down under a cosy rug to enjoy first class theatre. The perfect combination!

We open the Walled Garden at 4:00pm for you to choose a spot and enjoy your picnic. We recommend that you bring a rug to sit on, and chairs are also permitted.  We also suggest bringing warm layers and a rug as the evening draws in. You are most welcome to bring picnics and alcohol. We will also be selling booze, hot drinks and ice cream.
