Much Ado about Shakespeare promenade hitting Trent Park

Fancy a magical summer evening out? Well Wildwood Events are presenting 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', a renowned Shakespeare play, through the enchanting Trent Park from Sat 7th August to Sun 22nd August.

I myself am a huge fan of the theatre, but I’m aware it does posses some down-sides. For instance, attempting to remain as silent as possible - unless risking an inconspicuous hushing from fellow audience members – and sitting for hours with contracting a numb-bum and vitamin D deficiency from the lack of sunlight. However you can forget such reservations brought about by the conventional sit-down theatre experiences. With the Trent Park promenade you receive the best of both worlds: you get to be proud viewers of a entrancing and distinguished play, whilst embracing a touch of nature, being up-and-about and not wasting a moment of the precious summer sunshine. This also means it’s perfect for the kids, and at reasonable prices.

Adults £10, and Concessions £8 (Senior Citizens, Under 16's)

Family Ticket (2 Adults & 2 Concessions) also available at £30

Tickets can be purchased online at www.millfieldartscentre.co.uk

Tickets can also be purchased on the day at Wildwood Events Box Office in Trent Park 1 hour prior to each performance.

There is also a bar positioned at the meeting point for audience members to purchase refreshments, so no need to feel bad about sipping and slurping during the performance. Although walking around for two hours may be viewed as just as uncomfortable as the not-stop sitting-down experience, they do offer the opportunity to rest your legs and take a seat at several different locations, so a relaxing time for all. Because of this, the company recommend you bring along a lightweight picnic blanket or fold up chairs that you can carry.

“The play’s the thing” in Enfield! So why not head down to Trent Park on Cockfosters Road and see what you think.

So, in the words of Shakespeare himself:

“A hit. A very palpable hit” or “A sorry sight”? If you’ve managed to check out the promenade production, share your thoughts!
