SUMMARY:Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:An outdoor production by the Sun & Moon Theatre.\nTis almost fairy time …’ \nIt’s 1925\, Midsummer’s Eve and the wedding of the century is just around the corner – an event so momentous that the magic of fairyland collides with the real world. In the heart of an enchanted forest\, chaos reigns as bickering bohemian fairies clash with a hapless troupe of actors in rehearsal and a quartet of lovers fleeing from reality. With wild love potions\, passion\, power struggles\, follies\, blunders and long-simmering tensions at play\, anything can happen … \nSet against a vibrant backdrop in which a black and white world transforms into technicolour and the vintage Roaring Twenties meets the boho timelessness of fairyland\, this is a wedding celebration you won’t forget! Suitable for all ages\, join us this summer for Shakespeare’s most beloved comedy\, brimming with drama\, humour\, romance\, and live music. Our dynamic ensemble invites you to revel in a spectacular evening of open-air theatre and a touch of midsummer madness. \nPack a picnic\, bring chairs\, blankets and enjoy this perfect midsummer evening!  Doors open at 5.30 pm and the performance starts at 7.00 pm and finishes at 9.00 pm.  Please support us in this wonderful fundraising event for Poltimore House and Grounds.

SUMMARY:The Handkerchief Tree Celebration
DESCRIPTION:You don’t need to be a Dendrophile to love our Handkerchief Tree.\nWe’ve got some pretty fabulous trees at Poltimore House and Grounds – and this tree is no shrinking violet.  The ‘Davidia Involucrata is considered a rare tree species.  It is known for its distinctive white ‘handkerchief -like bracts which are just beginning to emerge on our tree and is much regarded as a symbol of peace and remembrance.  The gorgeous flowers last about 3 weeks so make sure you plan a stroll around our beautiful grounds and see for yourself the famous ‘hanky’ tree planted in 1950. \nWe love this tree so much that in 2024 we’ve commissioned a local artist Min Sonia Kong from Plymouth University and you can see her beautiful artwork on a selection of stunning products including mugs\, mouse mats and pens.  All available in Branches Cafe with all proceeds going to the Poltimore House Trust. .
