Theatre

Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny by Quantum Theatre

Quantum Theatre's much-loved adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved Tales, The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny is back in 2026. Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin know very well that they are not to go into Mr McGregor’s garden, but they cannot resist and soon they find themselves in all sorts of scrapes, caught In a net, trapped by a snarling cat and face to face with Mr McGregor himself! How will they ever escape? Can Old Mr Bunny come to the rescue in time? And whatever will Mr McGregor make of all those footprints in the flower beds? Michael Whitmore’s charming adaptation will have you spellbound so why not grab the kids, a blanket and a picnic and join Peter and Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures - a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.

Cars at the Furnace

Our extremely popular monthly car rallies return for 2026. Held on the second Tuesday of the month, we welcome anyone with a vehicle who wants to come and show it to the world. We’ve had everything from a Model T Ford to the latest race-spec McLaren, mopeds to tourers, and even a Dalek! Even if you haven’t got a vehicle to show, you’re welcome to come along and enjoy the show! We have plenty of visitor car parking spaces. We will have food, a bar and ice cream to make it a great night out for the whole family. As always, we ask for donations on the door to support us and the Furnace Motor Club.

As You Like It by the Handlebards

Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK. Join the troupe at The Moira Furnace Museum for a fantastically funny bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’. What’s the play about? Well – Rosalind and her cousin Celia flee to the Forest of Arden, where they bump into Rosalind’s love interest Orlando. However, Rosalind is disguised as a young man. Cue some local Shepherds getting involved and the stage is set for a wild ride of wooing, hilarious mistaken identity and the odd wrestling match. This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!

The Sounds of Simon

The Sounds of Simon is a tribute to the wonderful music of Simon and Garfunkel. The Old Friends Duo tour is how the songs are meant to be: just two voices and one guitar. This is the music of Simon and Garfunkel up close and intimate.
