Peter Pan at Castle Gardens

This is an outdoor production in the fabulous atmospheric setting of Castle Gardens, so please bring a blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather.

This summer join Slapstick Picnic for a theatrical treat like no other as they whip up a three hander version of JM Barrie’s classic play Peter Pan.

Let your imagination soar as we dish out this timeless tale of hapless pirates, feral children and a particularly punctual reptile. This show isn’t just for kids, our brilliant buffoonery will have picnickers of all ages cackling into their coleslaw. Trust us, this is one flight of fancy you don’t want to miss.

The Castle Gardens experience

Castle Gardens is a magical outdoor space that lies adjacent to the Museum of Somerset and The Castle Hotel in Taunton.

The site will be open from 5pm, one hour before each performance, giving you plenty of time to enjoy a pre-show picnic with family and friends. And to make the evening truly special, The Castle Hotel will be providing an on-site bar, serving a selection of drinks to enhance your experience. Don’t forget to also bring a cosy blanket, so you can cuddle up under the stars and immerse yourself in the enchanting surroundings.
