The Arreton Community Theatre group will be performing A Midsummer Night's Dream in the garden at Budbridge Manor on the 5th-8th August (Thursday to Sunday).

The performances will be at 7.30, except on the Sunday, when there will be a matinée at 2.30.

Bring a picnic and some friends, or even relatives, and transport yourselves to ancient Athens (or maybe Warwickshire) for an evening of pathos, passion and pack animals.

Ticket prices are a very reasonable £6 for adults and £3 for children. Call 01983 528921 to book yours.

Directions: For those who haven't visited, Budbridge is at the far end of East Lane, which runs parallel to the Merstone road and is the route to the Bike Shed. Just keep going, over the old railway bridge and cycle track and you will reach a stretch of unmade road that leads to the Manor.
