Open Air Theatre
Open Air Theatre is back at Calderstones this summer for another glorious season of joy, laughter and drama in our magical garden theatre.
There’ll be Shakespearean magic from The Lord Chamberlains Men and Handlebards, a Jane Austen classic retold by Illyria and a timeless comic opera aboard the HMS Pinafore. Festival favourites The Fabularium are set to return with their tale of Pan and the Eternal Wreck– perfect for families!

Shared Reading
Calderstones is the home of Shared Reading. At Shared Reading groups, a trained Reader Leader selects wonderful stories and poems to read aloud together.
Everyone is welcome to share how the words make them feel, as well as their thoughts, ideas and memories. There is no pressure to talk or read aloud.
