CHILDREN’S OUTDOOR THEATRE – MIDNIGHT GANG written by David Walliams
Sun 22nd July 3.00pm
** SOLD OUT **
A David Walliams Bestseller
Drum roll, please… Heartbreak invites you to join us for the grand opening of The Lord Funt Hospital Playground, a spectacular new play area for the convalescent child.
Tom and his friends will be there, too, but you might know them best as The Midnight Gang. When everyone else is sweetly sleeping, they gather in the middle of the night in the name of magic, mischief, and memory making. Join Heartbreak and the gang on this crucial mission to overcome our greatest fears and uncover the magic ingredient to a fantastic friendship.
Bring your chairs, blankets, picnics, (perhaps a brolly) and be prepared to be daring at this outdoor adaptation of David Walliams’ bestseller. Who knows where the night may lead
** Seating is not provided for this performance; please bring a picnic rug or low backed chairs to sit on. You are very welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy during the performance. Tickets allow entry to the castle grounds from 11am.
