Outdoor Theatre – Beauty and the Beast

Join Chapterhouse Theatre Company at Holkham this summer, for a brand-new telling of this classic fairy tale. When an arrogant prince is cursed to live as a hideous beast, his only hope is a kindly young woman in search of a rose.

Presented with lively original music, animal puppets, and sparkling humour, Chapterhouse Theatre Company’s rollicking new adaptation of Beauty and the Beast is perfect for all the family!

You are welcome to bring low backed seating or rugs. Please come prepared for all weather conditions, however umbrellas are not permitted unless seated on the back row.
