Gerald Dickens, actor, director and producer specialising in the works of Charles Dickens returns once more to the Great Green Barn for a one-man masterclass production of one of his great-great grandfather's greatest novels, which is also Gerald’s personal favourite... Great Expectations . Young orphan Pip lives on the lonely, cold coastal Kent marshes with his sharp sister and her kindly and good natured blacksmith husband, Joe Gargery... a chance meeting changes his life completely, eventually leading him to a home, job and life as part of the respectable society of London.

Workshops & Classes

Letter Stone Carving Workshop

During this one-day beginner's letter cutting practical workshop in stone, you will learn from tutor Will Spankie the art how to draw, mark out, and carve letters in a piece of Portland stone. Using hand tools we will concentrate on the practical aspects of cutting the letters, as well as how to source the stone and tools, chisel sharpening and finishing the letters we carve. Although hand lettercutting is a skill which takes years to master Will aims to give people what they need to start that journey. All materials you use during the day are fully sustainable, and included in the price.

The Feast Of Midsummer

Our Feast of Midsummer celebrates midsummer, when the days are longest and nights are warm and fair... weather permitting! There will be an opportunity to wander the gardens from 7pm, with a three-course Greek feast being served from 7.45pm, and an opportunity to dance the night away from later in the evening. There will be plenty of choice for vegans, vegetarians and carnivores.
