SUMMARY:The Elizabethan Evening presents The Three Musketeers
DESCRIPTION:The Elizabethan Evening presents The Three Musketeers by Illyria on Saturday 25 July 2026 at 5pm at Manor Farm\, Corsley\, BA12 7QE\, with all proceeds supporting local charities \nEvery summer\, the Elizabethan Evening presents a much-loved outdoor theatre event in the village of Corsley to support local charities. \nThe production is staged in the gardens of the historic Manor Farm\, offering a beautiful and truly special setting for this popular annual occasion. Now in its third decade\, the event regularly welcomes an audience of nearly 500. \nTo date\, the event has raised almost £90\,000 and this year’s performance will support local young carers and youth mental health initiatives. \nThis summer\, theatregoers are invited to enjoy a swashbuckling production of The Three Musketeers\, performed by renowned outdoor theatre specialists Illyria. \nAll for One – and One for All! Young D’Artagnan is desperate to join Athos\, Porthos and Aramis as an elite Musketeer of the King’s Guard. To prove himself he plunges headlong into a breathlessly thrilling adventure to retrieve the Queen’s jewels\, restore Her Majesty’s honour\, survive the machinations of scheming Cardinal Richelieu\, and cross swords with the deadliest of femmes fatales Milady de Winter. \nSet against a sweeping panorama of 17th century France at war\, this production is a whirlwind of excitement\, broad comedy and ingenious storytelling. Romance! Swashbuckling! Intrigue! Murder! Betrayal! Revenge…! Dumas’s classic has got the lot! \nJoin us on Saturday 25 July 2026 at 5pm. Gates open at 4pm. \nFor more information and to book tickets\, go to www.theelizabethanevening.com \nFor all other enquiries: theelizabethanevening@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Ballet Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Ballet Under the Stars at Hatch House\, 24th-26th July 2026\nCovent Garden Dance celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026\, marking two decades of presenting world-class ballet and dance in some of the most distinctive settings in the UK and internationally. \nEvery summer\, set within the enchanting 17th-century walled Dutch garden at Hatch House\, Ballet Under the Stars takes place. The garden setting is transformed into a fully covered dinner theatre. The performances unfold beneath a canopy of flora where ballet\, live music and fine dining combine to create an atmosphere that feels closer to a continental arts festival than a conventional gala. The audiences will enjoy a programme of twelve short works — spanning classical\, neo-classical and contemporary repertoire — interwoven with a three-course dinner. \nThis year’s performances welcome a truly star-studded international cast in celebration of the company’s 20-year anniversary. Audiences will experience exceptional artistry from Myriam Ould-Braham and Mickaël Lafon of the Paris Opera Ballet\, alongside Joy Womack and Xander Parish representing the Mariinsky Ballet. They are joined by leading artists from the English National Ballet\, including Taela Rose Graff and Zai Calliste\, among many others\, creating an extraordinary evening that brings together some of the finest talent on the international stage.\nTwenty years on\, Covent Garden Dance continues to prove that ballet can thrive far beyond the traditional opera house or theatre and that some of the most memorable performances happen not beneath chandeliers\, but under the summer stars. \nTickets from £185 \nTo book:\nE: production@coventgardendance.com\nT: 01749 813313\nwww.coventgardendance.com
