Outdoor Theatre: Pinocchio
Illyria returns to Corfe Castle this summer with Oliver Gray's adaptation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio.
A wooden puppet runs away yearning for adventure, but instead finds cruel bosses, con-artists and exciting attractions which always contain hidden dangers. How can he ever become a real boy when even the lies he tells to cover up awkward truths are as plain as the nose on his face?
Running time: approximately 95 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
Recommended for ages 5 and over, though younger children are also welcome.
Bring your own blankets, cushions and camping chairs, and come prepared for the weather. The performance will continue come rain or shine.
Gates open at 6pm. The performance begins at 7pm.

Family (2 adults and up to 3 children): £50
Family (1 adult and up to 3 children): £30
Adult: £20
Child (ages 5 to 17): £10
Under 5s: free
