Outdoor Theatre 2023

Come and enjoy some really great theatre productions this summer at Hartland Abbey.  Set against the backdrop of this historic house the 2023 productions promise to keep theatregoers of all ages and tastes entertained with some fantastic shows. It is a perfect reason to get together with family and friends and enjoy a spectacular afternoon’s entertainment or a night under the stars!

It is exciting that we can get back to normal this year after two or three difficult years! Thanks to Richard Wolfenden-Brown of The Plough Arts Centre we are thrilled to be hosting shows again.

“Plough Community Theatre created a surreal comedic air that gave a sense of a rural community in an isolated grip of madness….we became part of this insanity and had a jolly good laugh” Tony Glynn North Devon Journal (On ‘Lark Rise’ 2013).

Hartland Abbey is off the A39 between Bideford and Bude. Take B3248 through Hartland village towards Hartland Quay.
