Half term theatre: The Secret Garden

‘The Secret Garden bloomed and bloomed and every day revealed new miracles.’ – Frances Hodgson Burnett

When young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live with her uncle in the Yorkshire countryside, she finds herself in a strange new home, surrounded by unfamiliar faces and feeling rather lonely.

But everything changes when a friendly robin leads her to a mysterious, locked garden. Hidden behind an old door, she discovers a forgotten place full of secrets, surprises and wonderful possibilities. As Mary begins to bring the garden back to life, she also finds new friends and discovers a little magic along the way.

Join us for a charming theatrical adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s much-loved story. Follow Mary on an adventure filled with discovery, friendship and the wonders of a secret garden.

Perfect for little theatre-goers aged 4 to 7, this is a delightful half term treat celebrating the magic of nature and the joy of finding somewhere to belong.
