People can watch live theatre in the grounds on a historic hall.
The National Trust's Speke Hall has invited visitors for an evening which it said will be filled with action, music and "rip-roaring laughter" with four special outdoor theatre performances in the gardens. Audiences will be able to make themselves comfortable with their picnics, blankets, and deckchairs in the colourful surroundings of the north lawn on Wednesday, June 21.
The performances include a "creative and amusing take" on the classic tale of Robin Hood by the Three Inch Fools. Returning to Speke Hall on Friday, July 7 are The Pantaloons, who bring a "charming brand of theatrical chaos" to their performance of Jane Austen’s story of misguided matchmaker, Emma.
