Outdoor Theatre – The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck

Join us for an evening of outdoor theatre set in the historical ruins of Corfe Castle this summer!

New for 2024, Quantum theatre presents a delightful new adaption of Beatrix Potter’s much loved tale – The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.

Prevented from hatching her eggs at the farm, foolish Jemima goes in search of a nesting place in the forest and soon she meets a charming ‘gentleman’ who offers her the perfect nesting place in his wood-shed.

But why is his wood-shed full of feathers and why is he asking her to collect the herbs for roast duck?

Back at the farm, the Collie-dog, Kep, puts two and two together, but will he be in time to rescue Jemima from her fate?

Bring your own blankets, cushions, and camping chairs.
Come prepared for the weather – the performance will continue rain or shine!
Performance will begin at 7pm and gates will open at 6pm.
