A Midsummer Nights Dream, Chiddingstone
Aug 24, 2025

A Mid Summer Night’s Dream
The Three Inch Fools
Sun 24 August 3pm
Chiddingstone Castle North Lawn

It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.

Bring your own cushions, beanbags or chairs and join us and the Three Inch Fools as we all celebrate the 10th year of their open-air adventure. Come prepared for the weather – the performance will continue come rain, come shine.

Chiddingstone Castle North Lawn

Come prepared for the weather in this uncovered, stunningly beautiful venue.

You can bring your own seats, beanbags, rugs etc. along with your picnic. Choose where you would like to sit when you arrive, you will view the performance from there whilst enjoying your picnic (if you can save pudding until then).

The Castle Cafe will be open before the show for hot and cold drinks and light meals and ice cream.

If you are considering making a day of it the castle opening hours are 11am – 5pm (last entry 4:15pm), so please ensure you have visited before the performance starts.

Please note: umbrellas are welcome if required, gazebo’s are not.
