This year’s Theatre in the Park performance in Oak Hill Park on Sunday, 2nd August is the much-loved story of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit.

Performed by Quantum Theatre it tells how 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 Benjaamin on their hair-raising adventures – a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.

Gates open at 2.30pm for a 3.30pm start at the golf couse near the car park in Oak Hill Park.

Book tickets at https://www.quantumtheatre.co.uk/event-details/oakhill-golf-peter-rabbit or pay at the door but it’s 50p more per ticket if you pay at the gate. There’s no booking fee on the website.
