- Booking essential
An outdoor theatre performance of Kenneth Grahame’s children's tale.
“You’ve got to fight him some time or other you know, ’cos he’s St George and you’re the dragon…”
When a boy finds a dragon up on the Downs he’s not in the least surprised. He's always known the cave there was a dragon cave, so it seems only right for a dragon to be living in it. But this particular dragon is not a bit like the ones in fairy tales - this one writes poetry and doesn’t like fighting!
However, it’s common knowledge that when there’s a dragon you call for St George and, with a dragon in the neighbourhood, the towns folk are expecting a fight. Can the boy come up with a clever plan to save his friend and convince the townsfolk to accept him….?
Please arrive in time for the performance to start at 6:30pm. As there is no seating available on the croquet lawn, we recommend you bring a picnic blanket to sit on. You're also welcome to bring your own camping chairs.
