If you are looking for first class family entertainment come and see 
The Secret Garden - a new adaptation by Angel Exit Theatre to celebrate the centenary of Frances Hodgson Burnett's much-loved classic.

It sees spoilt orphan, Mary Lennox plucked from the bright vibrancy of India in 1899 and transplanted to a mysterious old house full of secrets on the grey Yorkshire moors. As Mary battles loneliness she encounters locked doors, a curious robin, hidden keys, and strange cries ringing down the corridor... 

Presented in Angel Exit's rich visual style, the show blends storytelling with striking physicality, beautiful puppets, and original music. It is directed by Tamsin Fessey and Lynne Forbes who brought the hugely popular production Moonfleet to Dorset.
