Comedy

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.

My Dear Beatrix

back to Upcoming events at Tabitha Twitchit's Bookshop Skip to content My Dear Beatrix... Last year, we asked you to send letters to Beatrix Potter. This year we're displaying them at Tabitha Twitchit's Bookshop. It may be a dying art, but writing letters is how Beatrix Potter’s ‘little books’ began. In a handwritten letter to Noel Moore, the first son of her last governess, Beatrix wrote, ‘My dear Noel, I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits whose names were - Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter.’ In 2025, to celebrate 120 years since Beatrix Potter purchased Hill Top with the money she made from her ‘little books’, we collected letters to Beatrix Potter from anyone who loves her, her work, or the Lake District that she protected and used as inspiration. Her fans across the world started their letter with ‘My Dear Beatrix…’ and posted it to Hill Top. Now we display them for everyone to see, ready to inspire discussions on the incredible woman behind the beloved tales and the Lake District she helped protect. Why not come and add your letter to the display? There will be letter writing supplies available and tables to sit at.
