nestled among blooms and ancient trees.

Rivals comes to life in this sparkling 250th anniversary production, brought
to Furzey Gardens by the acclaimed company behind ‘Twelfth
Night’ and ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’
.Set in the Edwardian era, this witty tale of love and letters features dashing
soldiers, high society scandal, and toe-tapping live jazz. A summer evening
of joy, charm, and comic chaos awaits.
The gates open early so bring a picnic and chairs to enjoy in the garden.
Parking is limited so car sharing is recommended!
