Theatre on the lawn: Jeeves and Wooster

We cordially invite you to an uproarious adventure with P.G. Wodehouse’s beloved characters, Jeeves and Wooster!

  • Booking advisable

Enter the whimsical world of Bertie Wooster, an affable young gentleman with a penchant for getting himself in the most outlandish predicaments. Thankfully, he has his razor-sharp valet, Jeeves, to rescue him from all sorts of mishaps.

Facing misadventures, from ill-fated romances to comical escapades, all set against the backdrop of a world filled with eccentric aunts, quirky friends, and a host of unforgettable characters.

Featuring live jazz music, from our ensemble of actor-musicians - a jolly good time awaits you!
