OPEN air performances of Robin Hood have been taking place across the Cotswolds throughout July and continue into August with a brand new production by Jenny Wren Productions.

This new adaptation of the tale of the popular tale of the folk hero, Robin Hood, has been scripted by Joe Hackett and directed by Jenny Wicks.

Follow Robin Hood as he strives to win the Golden Arrow and the hand of the valiant Maid Marian.

Robin and his motley crew entertain all the family with their own unique brand of action and adventure.

Previous productions include Oliver Twist, Around the World in 80 Days and last year’s Twelfth Night.

Director Jenny Wicks said: “It’s really exciting this year to be producing a totally home grown version of Robin Hood.

"It’s scripted by our very own Joe Hackett, who has been a member of the Jenny Wren Company for years and enjoys writing as well as performing. "Expect plenty of laughs and quite a few surprises.”

All performances take place in the open-air, so bring a chair or blanket.
