About this event

A glorious anthology of poetry, prose and songs, delivered by five versatile professional performers, on the theme of gardens and the gardeners who tend them. From Gertrude Jekyll to Pam Ayres, from An English Country Garden to The Secret Garden, from the lyrical to limericks, this is a flowerbed full of delights.

The performance takes place in the delightful walled garden of this charming old hotel in the historic heart of Winchester.

Before the performance you are also invited to join a special evening opening of an exhibition entitled 'Gardens, Landscapes and Horticulture in Art'. It takes place just along the street in an old chapel called The Milner Hall. Here you can admire the work of 18 talented local artists, as well have a rare opportunity to see this hidden venue. We will then show you back to the Winchester Royal Hotel in time for the play.

The hotel bar will be open for drinks. you can also enjoy afternoon tea or supper before of after the performance.
