Description
For those looking for outdoor events at Walmer Castle in Kent for 2025, check out these great shows:
The Merry Wives of Windsor
The Illyria theatre company presents this Shakespeare classic about skint Falstaff's attempt to seduce two rich married women to relieve them of their wealth. Unbeknownst to the failed lover, they know that he has sent the same love letter to them both! Find out how they wreak revenge!
ABBA by Moonlight
Enjoy dancing to the Swedish group's greatest hits in this iconic location. Take a picnic and enjoy ABBA’s greatest hits, including Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, Waterloo and many more! Decked out in full disco costume, ABBA by Moonlight combines stunning vocals, talented live musicians, and a uniquely beautiful outdoor setting to make one unforgettable concert.
Robin Hood
In this family show, meet Robin and his Gang as they battle against the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and steal from the rich to give to the poor.
Sense & Sensibility
The Dashwood sisters have very different approaches to their love lives. Elinor has much more Sense, but Marianne has a great deal of Sensibility. Whilst uninterested in the affections of a middle-aged man, Marianne just can’t help herself when a dashing young hero appears on the scene. 2025 celebrates the 250th anniversary year of year of Jane Austen, and what better way to celebrate her life than to delve into the world of one of her finest novels.
Alice Through The Looking Glass
Quantum Theatre presents a brand new adaptation of the Lewis Carroll favourite, with live music. Follow Alice as she enters the looking-glass world through the mirror above her drawing-room fireplace.
