Following the incredible sell-out success of La Traviata in Summer 2025, we are delighted to open the Box Office for Franz Lehár’s irresistible The Merry Widow for Summer 2026. Set amid the glamour and intrigue of Parisian high society, this effervescent tale of love, money, and second chances centres on the wealthy widow Hanna Glawari and the charming Count Danilo, whose unresolved romance threatens both hearts and fortunes. Brimming with champagne-fuelled parties, sparkling wit, and sumptuous waltzes, Lehár’s most beloved work is a joyful celebration of romance and theatrical flair. With unforgettable melodies, dazzling ensembles, and moments of genuine tenderness, The Merry Widow promises an evening of laughter, elegance, and sheer delight. Don’t miss this classic — experience the glamour and romance live. Oh yes, and fabulous food and drink from Philleigh Way and Old Chapel Cellars to name but a few! Buy your tickets now and raise a glass to a sparkling summer evening.
Perfect as an extra layer on chilly days or for late evenings when the sun dips and the breeze picks up, Atlantic fleece or recycled wool blankets ensure everyone stays warm and relaxed. Practical, durable and extremely cosy, they come in a range of colours and sizes and are really easy to look after. What’s not to love?
