Immerse yourself in an outdoor theatre performance this summer at Tyntesfield. You can enjoy re-imaginings of literary classics such as Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and As You Like It. Also, we have the children’s favourite tale, Rapunzel, which will take place on the lawn in front of the house.

Twelfth Night

Saturday 25 June, 7-9pm

Join The HandleBards at Tyntesfield for a bicycle-powered, laugh-out-loud production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

Duke Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but she won’t have anything to do with suitors. Viola is shipwrecked and believes her twin brother Sebastian to be dead. Meanwhile, a bunch of Olivia’s servants plot to make a fool out of her pompous butler, Malvolio. There’s drunkenness, frivolity and fancy dress a-plenty.
