ANDY PARSONS: HEALING THE NATION

This is a rescheduled show. Original tickets remain valid.
It was 24th June 2016 and I found myself contemplating a supermarket meal deal. I only wanted a sandwich and I only needed a sandwich but given that I could get a snack and a drink for only 5p more it seemed financially irresponsible not to. I had spent so long pondering the EU Referendum result from the day before that I was now in a massive rush.  The lad on the till scanned the first two items no problem but the third item he couldn’t get to scan at all. I thought this is going to be a nightmare – there was a queue building up and he looked like he was going to call the supervisor. Then to his credit, he tried to scan it one more time, it wouldn’t scan – so he went ‘bip’ himself and chucked it through. And it was at that moment I thought “oh we’ll be alright as a country we will”.

And we will be alright. Trust me. I’m not a politician.

 

Live On The Lawn: Gnora the Gnome’s Daytime Disco

The Friends of Burton Constable are delighted to announce ‘Live On The Lawn’ – a series of spectacular summer shows!

After several months of isolation, we’re excited to be welcoming you back outdoors to enjoy some quality time with family and friends.

Throughout August and September we will be bringing you live entertainment form our North Garden, with performances from both local and national acts.

What’s On? 

We’ve been working with a local events company to set-up a temporary stage in a delightfully scenic and secluded part of our Grounds. All entertainment will operate from the North Garden lawn (unless stated otherwise). Here, we have enough outdoor space for around 200 people (socially distanced). Entertainment will vary, with acts and performances for all audiences and age groups throughout the daytime and evening.

Gnora the gnome, and her brothers Gnorman and Gneville, have all been stuck underground for months. Now that they can get back outdoors they’re going to have a disco to celebrate – and you’re invited!

Today we’re discoing because we can go back outside. But as long as we’re together we can disco whenever!

With smash disco hits and lots of dancing bits, Gnora’s the Gnome’s Daytime Disco is fun for all the family, so come and join us at Burton Constable for a boogie.

This is an outdoor production so please feel free to bring your own chairs, blankets and cushions.

The show running time is 55 minutes (without an interval).

Adults: Free

Under 12s: £12 (must be accompanied by an adult)

Additional Adult/Over 12: £12

THE HANDLEBARDS are a unique theatre company who cycle Shakespeare’s plays to outdoor venues across the UK, carrying all of their set props and costumes on the back of their bikes.

With music, mayhem and more costume changes than you can shake a spear at, expect the usual irreverent, charming and hilarious style to come bursting onto stage! Forget the tears and tragedy, pack a picnic and get ready for some socially-distanced live and wired Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it before.

More and more events will be added over the coming weeks, so be sure to follow our social channels and keep an eye on our website for any updates.
