ROCOCO Garden in Painswick is hosting a double bill of open-air theatre this bank holiday weekend.

After their previous summer successes, IK Productions will again present their unique brand of quick-witted classic British novel adaptations. 

At 2.30pm on Sunday and Monday, bring a picnic and join the Mad Hatter's tea party for Alice in Wonderland. 

And at 6.30pm on August 27, take a hilarious journey down the River Thames with Three Men in a Boat, as they encounter peculiar maladies and discuss important topics such as ‘why very few people suffer from sea-sickness on land.’ 

Voted the second funniest book of all time by Esquire, the story is bound to entertain. 

The grounds will open an hour before each performance and there is a café on site.

While you are there, have a go at naming Rococo Garden's family of white ducks. Enter the competition for the chance to win a free return visit to help the team feed the ducks.
