The Marriage of Figaro After the success of their previous performances Wild Arts return in 2026 with The Marriage of Figaro. The performances will take place in the beautiful Great Hall in the main house, with room for only 175 audience members.

You are welcome to arrive from 5pm to set up your picnic in the gardens, and bring food, drink, rugs, chairs, tables, friends, and candelabras. The performance will start at 6pm, with a 90-minute picnic interval at approximately 7:15pm before Act II starts at 8.45pm. Curtain down will be at approximately 10pm. Please book early - last year's opera sold out.

Folksy Theatre - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Forde Abbey are delighted to welcome back Folksy Theatre performing A Midsummer Night's Dream on our South Lawn this summer. Love, laughter, and a little bit of lunacy — enter a world where fairies meddle, lovers quarrel, and magic runs wild! This summer, join us for a breathtaking open-air performance of William Shakespeare’s beloved comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In the heart of an enchanted forest, four young lovers flee the constraints of society and stumble into a realm ruled by mischievous fairies, feuding royalty, and a troupe of would-be actors with more enthusiasm than talent. What follows is a wild night of mistaken identities, magical transformations, and love gone deliciously wrong — enjoy Shakespeare’s dazzling verse and Folksy’s twist of live music, audience interaction and frantic multi-rolling! Bring your own picnics and deckchairs and join the fun. Filled with Folksy’s signature live music, audience interaction, and delightful silliness, this adaptation promises to have you laughing and singing along! Don’t miss out on this unforgettable summer adventure!
