A versatile cast of eight will delight audiences with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, performed amongst the woodland wonders of Wylds Christmas Tree Farm, Liss from 20th – 25th July 2021.

Audiences are encouraged to arrive early and start the  evening with a drink from the Bottoms Up bar, then enjoy a picnic whilst listening to live music before a promenade up the hill to witness warring fairies, sparring lovers and a group of wannabe actors who are putting on a play…

Tickets on sale now so come and enjoy the family-friendly festival vibe, beautiful surroundings and a sparkling show.
