🌧Let's get the rain out of the way now so we can enjoy sunny skies, LIVE THEATRE, delicious picnics and gorgeous surroundings in 2 weeks time for 🎭 The Canterbury Tales at The Walled Garden (19-21 June)
But DON'T PANIC or let the (sometimes unpredictable) weather put you off booking your ticket in advance; we only sell in advance to the Creation Space capacity so IF the weather is inclement, we can make a last minute call to bring the show inside*...as the saying goes:
"THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!"
So, what are you waiting for!?
