Sunset Series: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The Three Inch Fools present Shakespeare’s most iconic comedy.

  • Booking essential

It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.

★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny” ★★★★★ – “One of the best Shakespeare plays I’ll ever watch” – The Bristol Post ★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press ★★★★★ – “Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable”

Bring your own cushions, and camping-chairs and join us on our 10th anniversary open-air adventure. Come prepared for the weather - the performance will continue come rain come shine!

For the evening we will have Kiernan's Coffee serving artisan barista coffee, including a chemical-free decaf, available hot and iced. They offer a full range of teas, along with locally sourced premium hot chocolate and chai lattes. From their vintage horsebox, you'll also find a selection of iced coolers, cold drinks, snacks, and other refreshments. There will also be a selection of alcoholic beverages available including beer, cider, and wine.
