About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join Mary, Colin and Dickon as they tell you the story of their favourite place in the world - The Secret Garden. Following their success in 2024, The Plandits are bringing their re-imagining of the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett book back for a second summer season. Suitable for anyone aged 6+ who loves literature and the great outdoors, audiences have described the show as ‘truly captivating’, ‘uplifting’, ‘totally charming and magical’. This heartfelt, energetic production is full of original music, puppetry, interaction and laughs. As the three characters discover the transforming power of being active, the magic of nature and the joy of play, we’re sure you’ll leave this performance with a renewed enthusiasm for the world around you!


Doors open at 5.30pm
