Outdoor theatre

The outdoor theatre events at Oldbridge have become one of the most eagerly anticipated annual events at the site and this year’s productions look set to continue to trend.

Great Expectations will take place at 6.30pm on Saturday, July 15th showcasing this story of love, family and friendship set in the depths of Victorian England.
