Outdoor Theatre 2010
With our new schedule for 2010 announced, we look forward to hosting another exciting programme of family entertainment. We welcome back some of the production companies that have been to Holkham before and have selected performances to include traditional titles, comedy and drama.
All productions will be held in the Pottery Yard, Holkham Park. Please bring your own rugs or low-backed seating and come prepared for all weathers. The opportunity to have a picnic before each performance commences will be available once the Pottery Yard gates open, generally 30 minutes before the production starts. Alternatively refreshments will be available from the Stables Cafe.
Terms and conditions relevant to the sale of tickets for these productions are at the bottom of this page.

Alice Through The Looking-Glass
Quantum Theatre presents this family favourite, Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Join Alice’s fantastical adventures in the strange world she enters through the mirror above her drawing-room fireplace. What she finds there is a world laid out in the form of a giant chess board and before long Alice finds herself entering the game as a white pawn. Follow her travels across the board until she is crowned queen at the eighth square and along the way encounters some of Lewis Carroll’s most memorable and enduring characters, among them Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Walrus and the Carpenter, The Lion and the Unicorn and the Jabberwock. Filled with fine nonsense poems and songs, it is truly a show for all the family.

George and The Dragon
Presented by Theatreworks
A must for young people and their families, this famous story is retold using music, song, slapstick comedy and masses of audience participation. Young people are encouraged to come dressed as knights, princesses or even dragons and help George on his quest. Does he save the princess or does she save him? Be warned that badly behaved parents may be put in the stocks!
A smoke breathing dragon may disturb some sensitive under fives, even though the worst thing he does is crack some really awful jokes, but those over five will love him!
