Click here to book your tickets. Our next production sees us returning to Mr Shakespeare. ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, will be performed in the grounds of the beautiful Belcombe Court in Bradford on Avon. Preparations are well under way. The cast has been announced and the crew are almost all in place. With profits going toward the charity ‘Child Bereavement’ and a special Gala evening on Saturday, this promises to be a very special production.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see a splendid play in a spectacular venue which is seldom open to the public. Parking is provided free of charge and all seats are undercover. Bring your picnic or this year take advantage of the opportunity to order one in advance to be collected on the night and relax in the beautiful grounds beforehand. Click here to book your pre-ordered picnic! Pimms, prosecco, tea, coffee and cakes are also available.
Tickets are priced at £12 (£10 for under 19s and over 60s) with a limited number of gala tickets available at £45.

Gala ticket holders have entry to the grounds from 5pm and includes a private tour of the gardens followed by canapes, sparkling wine and a cold buffet in the Chapel Barn before taking up reserved seats for the start of the performance at 7.30pm. During the interval dessert will be served once again in the Chapel Barn.

Last Summer’s production was a sell-out and in view of the fact that this production is being jointly marketed by The Bradfordians, Belcombe Court and Child Bereavement Charity it is advisable that you book early.


On Sunday 24th June, Paul and Caroline Weiland invite you to enjoy a Summer Party at Belcombe Court. For more information and to buy tickets click here.

We are a group of talented amateur thesps located in the beautiful Wiltshire town of Bradford on Avon. We produce at least three performances a year, in and around the town and surrounding villages. From Rogers and Hammerstein to Shakespeare, we do it all!

February half-term usually finds us performing to a family audience, this February it was ‘Tom’s Midnight Garden’. In the past we have performed ‘Sleeping Beauty’, ‘Annie’ and ‘The Wizard of Oz’ amongst others.
Summertime brings with it a slightly weightier piece. Last summer was Arthur Millers ‘The Crucible’ in the magnificent Tithe Barn. Picnics and bubbly pre-performance made for a memorable evening. Incidentally this production received rave reviews and awards.
October half term is when we take something a little different to the stage. This year we performed Peter Shaffers ‘Black Comedy’, the one act play followed a showcase of vocal delights performed by the inimitable Courage choir, all this washed down with canapes and fizz!
