THERE IS MAGIC AFOOT IN THE GARDENS THIS SUMMER......

There is magic afoot in the Gardens this summer as Glenn Elston’s famous and much adored flagship production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” returns to dazzle and delight audiences of all ages.

Filled with feuding fairies, eloping lovers & an amateur troupe of actors; this jewel in the Shakespeare comedy crown promises to leave you reeling with laughter as mischief, mayhem and meddling take hold of this enchanted forest.

See the gardens sparkle and glow as this beguiling and hilarious play is brought to life in a magical dream-like woodland under the stars.

So pack a picnic, pop the cork and join us for the most spectacular evening summer has to offer.
