Two classic children’s stories, King Arthur and The Sword in the Stone and Peter Rabbit from The Tales of Beatrix Potter, are brought to life in the gardens of the priory and the hugely talented Carl Taylor will bring Pavarotti to the Priory in a musical extravaganza.

And the Guardian has a family ticket to King Arthur and The Sword in the Stone to give away to one lucky reader.

“Last year’s theatre events were a resounding success and we are delighted to be hosting such fantastic shows once again,” said Lindsay Jones, events manager at Hodsock Priory.

“The gardens of the Priory came to life with families enjoying picnics whilst being entertained by talented professionals – they were memorable occasions.”

The programme starts on Sunday 8th July with The Sword in the Stone, with Peter Rabbit from The Tales of Beatrix Potter on Sunday 2nd September.

Sunday 9th September sees a spectacle of music and voice with Carl ‘Pavarotti’ Taylor being joined by international soprano Deborah Norman, Junction 33 Dance Band, Mount St Mary’s Jazz Band and BeVox.

“The events, which are suitable for all the family, offer a diverse appeal, attracting audiences of young and old alike. In this special year for Britain why not enjoy a summer occasion which will give you lasting happy memories” she said.

Gates open at 1pm for theatre events with the performances commencing at 3pm. And, for any budding actors or actresses, there is a theatre workshop at 1.30pm for The Sword in the Stone.
