Outdoor Theatre - Little Women

An uplifting and heartfelt tale of the March sisters’ journey into adulthood and all the trials and triumphs that come with it, Little Women features authentic costuming and a beautiful musical score.

  • Booking essential

Together with Chapterhouse Theatre Company we're delighted to present Louisa May Alcott’s beloved coming of age story. This summer, presented in the most beautiful garden setting at Rufford Old Hall, meet headstrong Jo March and her sisters Meg, Amy, and Beth. Each sister is determined to pursue her own path in life, but though their dreams may be different, their family ties remain as true as ever.
