Shakespeare In The Garden: The Comedy Of Errors

The Festival Players return, performing Shakespeare’s high-energy comedy, where confusion occurs when two pairs of identical twins, shipwrecked and separated as babies, end up many years later in the same town and are repeatedly mistaken for each other. We are hoping for good weather, despite the title of the play, but the show will go on if we have to hand out umbrellas. Open 1.30 pm for picnics. Bring your own seating. Well-behaved dogs welcome. Open to all. This performance coincides with Clare Smout’s APPRECIATING SHAKESPEARE course, which will focus on this play and includes a ticket to the performance.

More about Fenton Estate

Cumbria, England

Fenton Estate sits quietly in Cumbria, far from the noise of the city but close enough to feel part of it all. We've got plenty of local parks where children can chase balls and adults can watch without needing a ticket or a membership card. The surrounding hills offer views that make you forget you're just having a quiet weekend stroll. There are always gatherings in the community hall for those who like to chat over tea, while the sports club keeps things moving on match days. Even if no big event is listed today, the local character means someone will be hosting a small get-together or selling homemade goods at the market. Near Here makes sure you know exactly where to go without hunting through pages of online listings.
