Pinocchio Outdoor Theatre

Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, adapted by Oliver Gray. Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet – little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. He returns home hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations...

More about Standard Hill

Leicestershire, England

Standard Hill sits quietly in Leicestershire and punches well above its weight for community spirit. The Marlene Reid Centre has been hosting local gatherings for years, while craft stalls often pop up within easy walking distance. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon. Pub quizzes drift through the week and the odd family event keeps things interesting without needing to drive far. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
