Austen: Lost and Found by Natural Theatre Company

On Friday 5 and Saturday 6 September, join us for a wandering immersive performance around the garden at Croome with this wonderfully irreverent tribute to Jane Austen.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Lost & Found explores the stories in a forgotten Jane Austen novel that has been recently unearthed. It reveals recognisable plotlines, familiar characters and just a little bit of nonsense. Immerse yourself in wooing, weeping and wagers as you wander around Croome and watch this joyful story come to life around you!

The meddling Mrs Bentley is seeking husbands for her spinster daughters. This is easier said than done; they all seem to ignore her advice. That is until our handsome audience and the mysterious Mr Hardly roll into town. Love is in the air...

This walking performance will take you around the garden at Croome, exploring the site while immersing you in a hilarious story with all the wit and charm of a classic Austen novel.
