Join family and friends for what promises to be the most splendid evening of the summer as you picnic under a beautiful summer sky and lose yourself in this unforgettable love story.

“Pride and Prejudice is such an enduring classic that it’s wonderful to see it return again this summer. For me, this most famous of Jane Austen’s novels couldn’t be better suited for a summer’s evening entertainment in a beautiful country garden setting.” Laura Turner , Script Writer.
“I am delighted to return to Pride and Prejudice this summer, which will be my fifth time of directing this adaptation. It is a personal favourite of mine; it was the first period drama I ever read and I’ve been hooked ever since. The story and the setting suit the stately home environment perfectly and the story translates well to the open-air stage. Once again, we will study the airs, graces and rules of courtship of this period to bring you an accurate portrayal of romance in the 19th Century. Add in your own picnics, warm summer’s evening and a few stars and you have the ideal accompaniment for this beautiful story.” – Rebecca Gadsby, Director.
