Weather advisory

This is an outdoor event held in the open courtyard of the Soane Stable Yard. While we hope for clear skies, the performance will go ahead rain or shine.

In the event of rain, we kindly ask guests not to bring umbrellas, as they may obstruct the view of fellow audience members. Instead, we encourage you to embrace the charm of an English summer evening with a raincoat or poncho – equally practical and just as stylish!

In cases of extreme weather that may pose a risk to safety or significantly impact the performance, we will carefully assess the situation and explore the possibility of rescheduling. Any such decisions will be communicated promptly to all ticket holders.
