Outdoor theatre: Sense & Sensibility
Gates open 5.45pm, performance 7-9.20pm. Elinor Dashwood has a lot of good Sense. Her sister Marianne has an excess of Sensibility. Together they make a snappy title for Austen’s classic novel of scandals, scoundrels and severely sprained ankles.
- Booking essential
Don’t miss the marvellous, madcap and crazily inventive Pantaloons Theatre Company performing their own twist on the Jane Austen classic ‘Sense & Sensibility’ on The Vyne’s north lawn.
With gates opening at 5.45pm, bring your picnics, blankets, camping chairs and torches to the north lawn for an evening of lively entertainment. There's a ten-minute walk between the carpark and the north lawn so make sure you can comfortably carry all your belongings. Assistance dogs only are welcome, and the performance runs 7pm-9.20pm and includes a 20-minute interval.
Tickets: Adult (aged 17+) £15, Child (aged 5-16) £9, under 5s go free. Booking essential. Tickets are non-refundable.
