Book Tickets ► Burnin' Love, Coming Your Way
This July, the open-air theatre at Strode Park comes alive with rock 'n' roll magic. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, All Shook Up follows a mysterious guitar-playing stranger whose arrival in a small, buttoned-up town sets hearts racing, sparks flying and feet tapping. Expect comedy, romance, mistaken identities and a jukebox of Elvis classics, all under the summer sky.
