The following Tuesday, August 1, will see a performance of The Emperor's New Clothes and Other Stories, which includes such favourites as The Ugly Duckling.

Director Tim Lince is promising a fun filled summer where you can enjoy al fresco theatre, eat a picnic with clapping and singing along all at the same time.

Wigan’s Haigh Woodland Park is a spectacular venue to see outdoor theatre, with performances taking place in the walled

garden.

Tickets are available from www.summertheatretickets.co.uk and are priced from £6 each when bought as a family ticket.
