Jemima Puddle-Duck at Upton House and Gardens
New for 2024, Quantum theatre presents a delightful new adaptation of Beatrix Potter’s much-loved tale - The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.
Prevented from hatching her eggs at the farm, foolish Jemima goes in search of a nesting place in the forest and soon she meets a charming ‘gentleman’ who offers her the perfect nesting place in his wood-shed.
But why is his wood-shed full of feathers and why is he asking her to collect the herbs for roast duck?
Back at the farm, the collie-dog, Kep, puts two and two together, but will he be in time to rescue Jemima from her fate?
Pack a picnic and bring the family to enjoy this heart-warming tale on Upton's south lawn this summer.
Tickets booked online in advance: Adult £18.50, Child £11.50, Family £50
On the night at the venue: Adult £20.50, Child £12.50, Family £52
