All for One - and One for All! Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a breathlessly thrilling adventure to retrieve the Queen’s jewels, restore Her Majesty’s honour, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu, and cross swords with the deadliest of femmes fatales Milady de Winter.

Set against a sweeping panorama of 17th century France at war, this production is a whirlwind of excitement, broad comedy and ingenious storytelling. Romance! Intrigue! Murder! Betrayal! Revenge...! Dumas's classic has got the lot! With a reputation for the finest swordplay in the business Illyria promises more dazzling swashbuckling than ever!

The Three Musketeers will be performed in the beautiful grounds of Stainborough Castle. This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own seating/rug, suitable clothing and a picnic.

The performance will run from 6.30pm- 9.10pm including a 20 minute interval. Ticket holder gardens entry from 5pm, allowing you extra time to explore out of usual open hours.

Please note, the distance from the Visitor car park to the Castle is around 1km, up a hill.
