Enjoy outdoor entertainment

Sit back, relax and enjoy the show at one of our outdoor cinema, music or theatre events. If you're a fan of the classics, there are open-air performances of some of Shakespeare and Jane Austen's most-loved works. For younger audience members, Alice in Wonderland and The Tales of Puddesworth Park are sure to capture their imagination. There are lots of outdoor cinema screenings too, with films from The Wizard of Oz to Pretty Woman and Elvis being shown in the great outdoors. And if you'd like to catch a music performance, listen to jazz, a brass band or opera while you picnic.
