Outdoor Theatre: Tess of The D'Urbervilles

Hotbuckle Productions make a welcome return, bringing what is perhaps one of Hardy’s finest works back to his home town. Hardy’s heroine is one of the most moving in all of literature and this new version brings her story hauntingly to life.

Come prepared! – Bring whatever you need for a cosy evening. Sun shades, sun cream, hats, warm woollies, blankets, waterproofs, face mask, a waterproof lap cover (either a sheet of paper or a bin bag work well), a sleeping bag (it may seem silly, but even the warmest day can turn into the chilliest evening) and insect spray!

Bring your own seat – Low backed chairs, rugs and a cushion are always nice. Combine comfort and style!

Gather a posse – in line with current Covid restrictions! Bring friends and family (family tickets are available). The more the merrier for a fun day or night out!

Arrive Early – Pick a great spot in line with current Covid restrictions and enjoy the atmospheric surroundings
Bring a Torch – It’s very helpful to safely find your way back to the car for evening performances.

Bring a Picnic – Although refreshments are also available from an hour before each performance.

Venue: Maumbury Rings. Starts 7pm, doors and refreshments from 6pm.
