The Manor House lawn provides the perfect stage for open-air theatre and we’re delighted to have a series of performances planned for you to enjoy this summer.

From the award winning  outdoor theatre company who brought us the fabulous Dr Dolittle in 2018, we welcome back Illyria with this brand-new musical adaptation of the Doctor’s FURTHER adventures with Jip the Dog, Dab Dab the Duck, Gub Gub the Pig, Polynesia the Parrot. Where in the world will they go? Will they even stay on this world?! Which new animals will they help along the way? Will the Rats still have pithy observations to make? Is Gub Gub still dreaming about cake?

​As in Illyria’s 2018 production, The FURTHER Adventures of Doctor Dolittle features a fully orchestrated score, amazing puppets and a plethora of songs that you’ll be singing along to for years to come.

​Perfect summer fun for everyone aged 5+. Running time: 1 hour 40 minutes (including a 20 minute interval)
