Enjoy their hilarious performance outside in the beautiful Castle grounds this summer. \nTickets\nAdults (aged 16+): £16\nChildren (aged 5-15): £8\nUnder 5s: Free \nBooking fees apply. \nClick here to get ticketsMore information\nDoors open at 6pm.

Should they cause a distraction to others’ enjoyment (i.e. regular barking)\, we reserve the right to ask you to remove the dog until it has calmed down. \nSome of last year's audience comments\n“We were fortunate enough to watch the brilliant performance of ‘The Importance of being Earnest’ given by Rain or Shine at Cawley Hall\, Herefordshire last night. I am an ex English and Drama teacher and Inspector so I know the play well. This is one of the best performances of ‘Earnest’ I’ve ever seen. Well done!” – Jackie \n“Thank you\, thank you\, thank you for a perfect evening. It was just wonderful – so slick\, so clever\, so joyful. A complete and utter delight.” – Anita
