A spectacular season of summer drama returns to Carew Castle

Carew Castle is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated line-up of open air theatre productions, which are set to captivate audiences this summer.

The first performance at the picturesque Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority-run attraction will take place on Monday 31 July, when Red Herring Theatre returns to Carew Castle with Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood. Packed with thrills, laughter, sword fights, and immortal characters like Little John, Friar Tuck, and Maid Marian, this fast-paced family favourite is perfect for a summer evening and will run until Friday 4 August.

An opportunity to click your heels and head on down the yellow brick road will present itself on Monday 7 August, as Immersion Theatre presents a brand new adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, a magical family show guaranteed to have you in stitches from beginning to end.

Join Dorothy on her quest to the Emerald City as she and her loyal friends navigate through a magical land in search of the mighty and mysterious, Wizard of Oz. With lashings of audience participation, dazzling costumes, an original script and plenty of laughter, this faithful re-telling promises a fantastic treat for all the family.

The third open air production scheduled to take place at Carew Castle this summer is Bad Dad, written by popular children’s author, David Walliams. A warm-hearted tale about the highs and lows of a father and son relationship, Bad Dad follows Frank and his ex-racing driver father Gilbert as they struggle to escape the clutches of a local crime lord and clear Gilbert’s name.

Carew Castle and Tidal Mill Manager, Daisy Hughes said: “Our open air theatre performances haven proven extremely popular over recent years, so we would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

“Those attending the events will need to bring a rug or low backed chair to sit on, a picnic and suitable clothing to ensure they’re settled in for an enjoyable evening. Hot drinks and ice cream will be available on site.”
