Event details

Description

It is the autumn of 1882, and famous actress Lillie Langtry has invited the cream of theatrical high society to celebrate her forthcoming departure for America, where she hopes to rebuild her career.

But Lillie isn’t counting on the arrival of royalty, the eruption of scandal, and a particularly intriguing blast from the past…so begins a thrilling Victorian black comedy of divas, dilemmas, and dramatic exits.

Fancy dress theme – your favourite historical character!

As this event includes a welcome alcoholic or soft drink on arrival and a paid-for bar, we will need to operate a Challenge 25 procedure and, therefore, ask that you bring your ID to the event if you wish to have alcoholic beverages during the evening. 

Doors open at 6:30 pm. The event starts at 7:30 pm.

This event is suitable for 16+.

As this event will be in the evening, you must enter Christchurch Park via the Bolton Lane Gate adjacent to the Woolpack Pub.

You will be greeted at the gate and directed to Christchurch Mansion.

Some lights will be on in the park, but we recommend bringing a torch or using the torch on your phone, as the paths may be dark in places.
