Join Quantum Theatre on the lawn at Wightwick Manor and Gardens for a much-loved adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved Tales, The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.
- Booking essential
Join Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin in the gardens at Wightwick Manor on their hair-raising adventures in Quantum Theatre's delightful adaptation of Beatrix Potter's much-loved Tales.
Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin know very well that they are not to go into Mr McGregor’s garden, but they cannot resist and soon they find themselves in all sorts of scrapes, caught In a net, trapped by a snarling cat and face to face with Mr McGregor himself! How will they ever escape? Can Old Mr Bunny come to the rescue in time? And whatever will Mr McGregor make of all those footprints in the flower beds?
Michael Whitmore’s charming adaptation will have you spellbound so why not grab the kids, a blanket and a picnic and join Peter and Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures - a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.
Please bring your own folding chairs and picnic blankets as seating is not provided. Our tearoom will be open for take-away refreshments.
Booking essential, tickets are non refundable. No tickets needed for 3’s and under. Only assistance dogs are permitted at the performance.
The shows go on whatever the weather (unless fork lightning).
