‘Pride and Prejudice’ by Jane Austin: 7.00 pm, Tuesday, 10th August
Presented by Chapterhouse Theatre Company, open-air theatre at its best

Take a step back in time with Chapterhouse Theatre Company as we meet Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters. Whilst their interfering mother engineers various courtships, sisters Elizabeth and Jane must pursue their own quest for true love. Amongst misunderstandings, mistakes and miscommunications, the two girls must fight for the men they love until Elizabeth can finally surpass her prejudices to see past the proud exterior of the enigmatic Mr Darcy. After all, it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife…

Picnic with family and friends in the magical surroundings of beautiful gardens and enjoy a wonderful evening of theatre under the stars.
