Beyond The Brewhouse: Three Unmissable Outdoor Shows For Families This Summer
Pack up a picnic, gather the family, and discover the magic of outdoor theatre with Taunton Brewhouse this summer.
Set against some of Somerset’s most beautiful backdrops, their open-air theatre season offers three unforgettable family-friendly events that are perfect for introducing young audiences to the world of live performance.
First, head to the stunning grounds of Hestercombe Gardens for a wildly funny adaptation of Macbeth from the much-loved HandleBards. Expect Shakespeare with a twist, packed with laughter, mishaps, and larger-than-life characters.
Then, enjoy something a little different in Somerset Square with 55, a moving and uplifting outdoor dance performance exploring friendship and connection between generations. Blending movement, music and storytelling, it’s a beautiful experience for audiences of all ages.
Finally, journey to the enchanting surroundings of Castle Gardens for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. With runaway lovers, mischievous fairies, and plenty of silliness, Four Forty Theatre bring Shakespeare’s magical comedy to life with warmth, humour and imagination.
Whether you're a theatre regular or trying it for the very first time, these outdoor performances promise laughter and memories to treasure. So, bring a blanket, pack your favourite treats, and enjoy a summer of storytelling under the open sky.
