Pack up a picnic for a great night at Abbey

The energetic and dynamic Pantaloons Theatre Company will be back at Woburn this month with their open air production of The Tempest in the Abbey gardens.

There are also two musical events on July 27. Take a picnic to Songs on the Lawn or enjoy fine dining at A Touch of West End.

As we approach the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, the Historical Character Days return next month to give you an insight into life in and around Woburn 100 years ago. These events will take place on the 9th - 11th and 23rd - 25th August. Activities are included with admission to Woburn Abbey Gardens on these weekends.

For keen gardeners there is a two course seasonal lunch with coffee and a private guided tour of the Woburn Abbey Gardens on July 10, price £29.95 per person.

The critically-acclaimed Pantaloons put their own unique - and hilarious - twist on Shakespeare’s romantic tale of shipwrecks, sorcerers and silly servants.

Expect music, magic and mayhem in one of the Bard’s best-loved plays - in the open-air event on July 12, where it belongs.

Bring a rug or low backed chair and tuck into a picnic before the start of the show.
