Quantum Theatre Brings Peter Rabbit & Benjamin Bunny to Castle Ashby

Quantum Theatre are bringing their adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved tales to the grounds on Friday 21st August — think picnic blankets, an open-air stage and Peter Rabbit getting himself into all sorts of trouble. Here’s everything you need to know.

Quantum Theatre Presents Peter Rabbit — Friday 21st August, 6.30pm

Join us for an evening of fun on Friday 21st August, perfect for all the family. The Deli and eatery will be doing take away food; have the bar open and we will be joined by Pan Asian Maya Street Food Van.

This is an outdoor production, so please bring foldaway chairs, blankets and come dressed for the weather! The show has a 10 minute (approx.) interval.

Quantum Theatre are back with an enchanting new adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved Tales, The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.

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 Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures — a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.
