Outdoor theatre: The (Almost) Complete History of Britain at The Vyne

About

Mud, blood and stiff upper-lips! Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company on a breathless race through the centuries in this delightfully inventive show that tells the entire story of Britain in under 2 hours.

Have you ever wanted to see the life of Henry VIII told as a romantic comedy or the tale of the Spanish Armada reimagined as a light operetta? Probably not. But that won't stop The Pantaloons retelling great moments from the country's past in a variety of surprising genres! Featuring live music, audience interaction and wild historical inaccuracy. "Laugh-out-loud funny... endless verve and utterly infectious joy." (Northwich Guardian) Outdoor theatre - please bring a picnic and something to sit on and dress for the weather.

(The show will continue in most conditions.)

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. Assistance dogs only are welcome, and the performance runs 7-9pm and includes a 20-minute interval.

Tickets: Adult (aged 17+) £16, Child (aged 5-16) £9, under 5s go free. Booking essential. Tickets are non-refundable.
