Summary
If you would prefer to join us as an audience member for Play in a Day, then the show is free of charge (although we might do a collection so bring some spare cash!). Start time is 6.30pm but the café will be open prior to this from 6.00pm. The performance is planned to take place outdoors at the House and maybe outside in the Gardens (weather dependent), so please bring suitable clothing (and a fold-up chair if you have one!). If it’s raining then we’ll retreat inside for the show!
The running time of the performance will be approximately 30 minutes followed by a short (15 minutes)post-show chat with the cast and director after the show.
Please pre-book your free ticket here so that we have an idea of numbers attending.
