About

On Saturday 29 June, Wilde's comic masterpiece gets The Pantaloons treatment in their anarchic take on the classic comedy of manners.

This energetic and musical production from the critically-acclaimed company infuses Wilde's witty words with snappy new songs and frantically funny physical theatre to give this perennially popular play a hilarious contemporary twist!

With gates opening at 5.45pm, bring your picnics, blankets, camping chairs and torches to the north lawn for an evening of lively entertainment. There's a ten-minute walk between the carpark and the north lawn so make sure you can comfortably carry all your belongings. The performance runs 7pm-9pm.

Tickets: Adult (aged 16+) £15, Child (aged 5-15) £9, under 5s go free. Booking essential. Tickets are non-refundable.
