Outdoor theatre: King Arthur and the Holy Fail

Join us on the lawn for this open-air theatre performance by Three Inch Fools of King Arthur and the Holy Fail.

  • Booking not needed

The Three Inch Fools present an epic tale of Arthurian adventure and medieval mayhem!

In a land of daring quests, dashing knights, and endless jousting, there lived a would-be hero - waiting in the wings - who went by the name of Arthur. But when Camelot is rocked to its core by a tragic - and frankly improbable - incident involving a large table of an undisclosed shape, Arthur is thrust into the quest of a lifetime. Will he bravely battle through blistering cold and scorching fire to save his beloved realm, or will he crumble as fate refuses to cooperate? Destiny awaits, chivalry calls, and the quest to end all quests begins. Saddle up - things are about to get legendary.

This performance is an outdoor performance and is approximately 2 hours, including a 20 min interval. We recommend that you bring blankets/chairs/cushions etc. to sit on. Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc, as the performance will continue come rain come shine! We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience.
