The Separately Ticketed Performances

In order to keep costs down and make the Festival accessible to everyone, there are a number of ticket options. You can buy a Gate Pass and enjoy a whole day of entertainment for just £10 on Saturday (10.00am until 9.00pm) and £8 on Sunday (10.00am until 7.00pm)

As well as everything that is included in your Gate Pass, there are also a number of select, separately ticked performances and Workshops at the Great Barn Festival. Should you want to enjoy a performance in the Barn itself, these can be purchased with your Gate Pass.

There is also an outdoor theatre performance to enjoy on the Friday night before the Festival set against the stunning backdrop of the Barn itself

In order to access a Barn Performance you must hold a valid Gate Pass for the day of the performance. Please ensure you purchase a ticket that includes the Gate Pass. Should you wish to attend more than one performance in the Barn, then you can buy Performance Only tickets to ensure you do not buy a Gate Pass twice.

Discounts available for multiple or large group bookings, so please email us on boxoffice@greatbarnfestival.com for more information.

Friday 22nd September

Robin Hood
Doors open at 6.00pm
Performance 7.00pm – 10.00pm

The Three Inch Fools are back with their calamitous take on the legendary folktale, Robin Hood. From the director who bought you the acclaimed ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ our hapless troupe of actors hit the road with a production which can only be described as disastrous.

Beneath the Major Oak, this inept troupe of only three actors gather to tell the story of Britain’s best known folktale. As each actor battles to tell their own version of the legendary tale, our hero Robin must use every string to his bow to bring his band of merry misfits together. It’s a rip-roaring folk adventure full of original music, raucous comedy and terrible sword fighting!

★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny”
★★★★★ – “Great fun for the whole family…my kids are still talking about it!”

One of the UK’s most successful songwriters, Mark Chadwick, has co-written 20 chart singles and 6 Top 40 albums (including a Number 1) as part of the Levellers, the band he has fronted for over 25 years.

Still going strong the Levellers are festival favourites and have cemented their cherished status with headline performances at Glastonbury, Isle of Wight, Cambridge Folk Festival, Bestival and Boomtown and many European and UK events and in 2003 they successfully created their own annual Beautiful Days Festival which takes place in August at Escot Park in Devon.

During this time Mark has released two solo albums ‘All the Pieces’ and ‘Moment’ and his upfront and personal solo performance will see him play a mixture of material from these albums and Levellers classics.

An evening not be missed in a venue not easily forgotten.

Shakespeare in a Suitcase – Romeo & Juliet
4.00pm – 5.00pm
The Barn

As a story, Romeo & Juliet needs no further introduction as it is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous play. It’s a tale of a young man and woman, who fall in love but are destined for tragedy due to their warring families – the Montagues and the Capulets.

However, it is so much more than a love story. Who would’ve thought that this tale of tragedy could actually be quite funny? It can be difficult for children (and adults!) to understand a lot of Shakespeare’s humour but once you get it, it’ll make you laugh. This production, will bring the action through a series of stage fights, along with the romance and the humour to pulsating life.

​Using a simplified version of Shakespeare’s original text, this interactive show fully encourages audience participation and provides a great introduction to the inventiveness of Shakespeare.
