What a magical evening, our biggest audience so far! We welcomed 91 lovely people through our gate, they were EPIC. A crowd of Beavers from Cockermouth Scouts made some truly hilarious comments, a beautiful dog barked with impeccable comic timing. Thank you so much to our lovely community for making last night so very special ❤️

All our love, the Wayfarers x

Wayfarers Theatre presents 'THE TEMPEST', a lively, fun and magical adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale. This family-friendly theatre adventure is packed with original live music, puppets and a wonderful troupe of fourteen local performers.

Known for their wild and wonderful outdoor picnic theatre, Wayfarers are heading inside for a one-off relaxed performance at Kirkgate Arts. Leave your waterproofs, muddy boots and picnics behind; enjoy a drink from the bar and a dry, comfortable seat.

A message from Wayfarers: Everyone is welcome at our shows, and we want to ensure families can relax and enjoy the performance. We don't mind squeaky babies or adventurous toddlers! There's something for everyone, and we will get your feet tapping and everyone laughing. We hope you can join us for a joyful afternoon that leaves you feeling light and bright 🌞

Wayfarers Theatre presents... THE TEMPEST! 💦

We're back this summer with a family-friendly adaptation of the classic Shakespeare, expect hilarious antics, live music, and magical spirits!
There is a rumour that this year's picnic thieves are extra naughty... Let's just say bringing chips would be highly risky 🪽🪶🍟

JULY 10th - 13th & 17th - 20th with a surprise extra show to be announced soon!

Can't wait to see all your fancy picnics and lovely smiling faces 🌞 With any luck, you can leave your umbrellas at home as the only tempest will be on the stage!!

All our love, the Wayfarers xx
