The Three Inch Fools and Howick Hall Gardens & Arboretum are proud to present… Twelfth Night.

Saturday 24th September 2022 at 7pm.

Prepare for an evening of mischief and hilarity, as five actors present an inventive take on this rip-roaring comedy, fit for all the family. Touring the UK this summer, this Shakespearean classic will be getting the full Three Inch Fools treatment: expect fast-paced drama, endless costume changes, and much music-making along the way!

This is an outdoor performance. We recommend that you bring chairs/cushions/blankets etc. to sit on. Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc. as the performance will continue come rain or shine! We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these obscure the view for other people in the audience. 7pm start time, picnics available from *The Running Fox or welcome from 6pm. The performance will last approximately 120 minutes (+ a 20 minute  interval).

*Picnics to be ordered while booking your tickets and not directly with The Running Fox.

The Northumbrian Bells

Claire and Rachael, Mum & daughter, have been performing together since Rachael was 6 years old.

Rachael achieved Grade 8 Distinction in both Violin and Flute exams, accompanied on the piano by Claire. Rachael loved her musical life at Durham Uni graduating with a BA music, MA ( orchestration & arranging) & PGCE! Claire took the opportunity to return to her music with Piano, Violin & Harp playing over the last 20 years. Our professional lives are now taken up with Primary School Reception teaching for Rachael, and Harp & Piano teaching for Claire. We love playing our music together so much, from Classical to Folk and Musical Theatre. We usually make our family listeners cry with such beautiful arrangements, but promise to bring you a happy performance to remember forever!

Howick Hall Gardens and Arboretum are able to showcase their talents by filling the Hall’s Visitor Centre, Chinese and Old Dining Rooms with their beautiful music on four occasions: Saturday’s 17th September, 24th September, 2nd October and 5th November. Music starts at 11am for 1 hour.

We hope you come along and enjoy the music is such splendid surroundings.
