Quantum Theatre returns with Beatrix Potter’s magical tales at Ventnor Fringe

Quantum Theatre are back at Ventnor Fringe Festival with their enchanting new adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved tales: The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.

Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin know very well that they are not to go into Mr McGregor’s garden, but they cannot resist and soon they find themselves in all sorts of scrapes, caught In a net, trapped by a snarling cat and face to face with Mr McGregor himself!

How will they ever escape? Can Old Mr Bunny come to the rescue in time? And whatever will Mr McGregor make of all those footprints in the flower beds?

A charming adaptation
Michael Whitmore’s charming adaptation, with original music by Gideon Escott, will have you spellbound so why not grab the kids, a blanket and a picnic and join Peter and Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures in Mr Mcgregor’s garden – a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.

The show will be taking place on the top lawn at the Botanic Gardens, by the Visitor’s Centre, and it’s suitable for three years and upwards. Under threes are also very welcome to attend and do not need a ticket.

Where and when
The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny will be performed between 3pm and 4.30pm on Sunday 30th July 2023 at Ventnor Botanic Garden.

Tickets are priced at £15 each, £12.50 for under 25s, £10 for children (3-16 yrs), £45 for a family of four, or 2 for 1 for Culture / Unlimited Pass holders (find out more about this).
