Property Manager Richard Polley said:
“We look forward to hosting Hamlet in the spectacular setting of Threave Garden and seeing the dramatic events of the court of Denmark play out against the beautiful backdrop of the garden and Threave House.”
The performance takes place on Friday 17 July from 7-9pm. Advance tickets cost £12 for adults and £8 for children and can be booked online at: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1409841. Tickets will be available on the night at £15 for adults and £10 for children and concessions.
