Details

On a midsummer's night Hermia and her lover Lysander flee from Athens and Demetrius - the man Hermia's father favours as a son-in-law. Demetrius follows, pursued by Helena who loves him in spite of being spurned in favour of Hermia. On the same night Bottom and his friends leave Athens to find somewhere quiet to rehearse their play which is to be performed at the wedding feast of Duke Theseus. Drawn into the woods they enter a world of magic, mystery and wonder. This is an incredible treat for all of the family. Performed by world-class actors from the National Theatre, RSC and London's West End. Comedy, music, magic and adventure in the beautiful Beaulieu woodland setting. Bring your own picnic blanket and chairs or let us know on booking that you would like us to provide seating. All fully-socially distanced and safe. Refreshments such as ice creams and drinks will be on sale.
