Unfortunately, due to the grade one listed nature of the building, not all our summer productions are accessible for wheelchairs as these are performed on the lawn and therefore two small steps are required to get up onto the lawn.

What happens if it rains?

The Great British summertime is famous for its unpredictable weather! In 99% of chances, the performance will continue come rain or shine. In cases of heavy rain, it may be necessary to halt the performance for a short period. In the unlikely circumstance of extreme weather (including extreme heat), the performance may be postponed until a further date. For more information on this, please read our Weather Policy.

Do please dress for the weather accordingly! If possible, try to avoid bringing umbrellas as they can block sight-lines for other audience members. Raincoats and ponchos are just as fetching - we can provide free ponchos for audience members without any suitable cover!
