Upcoming events at Avebury this summer

Avebury Manor Garden has announced two main events taking place this summer.

There will be two performances of King Arthur and the Holy Fail at the garden’s outdoor theatre on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August.

A spokesperson said: "The Three Inch Fools are on tour again this summer and will perform their new, fast-paced, musically driven, medieval adventure in the beautiful setting of Avebury Manor Garden. Bring a picnic and something comfortable to sit on and join them for another epic night of mayhem.

"Destiny awaits, chivalry calls, and the quest to end all quests begins when a tragic - frankly improbable - incident rocks Camelot to its core and would-be hero Arthur is thrust into the quest of a lifetime. Will he bravely battle through to save his beloved realm or crumble as fate refuses to cooperate? Saddle up - things are about to get legendary."

The performance will last approximately 100 minutes (plus a 20-minute interval) and continue come rain or shine. Booking is essential through the Three Inch Fools’ website: https://www.threeinchfools.com

Gates open at 5:30pm, performance begins at 6:30pm. Early Bird discount still currently available.

A series of guided tours will take place around Avebury Manor Garden, on Thu 21 May, Thu 25 June, Thu 16 July, Thu 20 Aug and Thu 24 Sep. 10am-11:30pm. Booking is essential.

Join Head Gardener Garry Munford for a guided tour of the beautiful Avebury Manor Garden. Garry will share his knowledge of the garden's long history and explain the exciting new developments as his team work to adapt this fully organic garden to the changing climate. The tour is a great opportunity to learn about the garden's seasonal highlights, plus Garry's handy tips for you to use at home.

Tickets are £10 per person, which includes entry to the garden. Please book online. The tour lasts from 10am-11am and is followed by a chance to ask questions.
