Story Time Brought to Life at Haigh this Summer

Set in the picturesque walled gardens of Haigh Country Park, performances are held twice daily with open-air tickets available for all the family.  Highly trained and experienced actors bring the performances to life using costumes, scenery, props, song and a sense of fun.

Ian Sturzaker, Deputy Manager at Haigh Hall and Country Park commented: “We introduced the children’s theatre a couple of years ago as something that all of the family can enjoy.
