We are delighted to welcome back the Festival Players to The Barn after many years of sell-out, highly entertaining performances with us.This year, they bring us Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors".
One of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, The Comedy of Errors tells the story of twin sons and their twin servants, separated in a shipwreck. The play explores themes of identity, mistaken identity, and family as we find out what happens when the twins find themselves in the same town on the same day.
Confusion and mishap ensue as no one can tell the twins apart, husbands appear to be in love with the wrong person, debts refused to be paid and servants lock masters out of their own homes.
The Festival Players bring live original music, comedic chaos, fast-paced story telling, traditional costume and more to Shakespeare’s most farcical play, in their 2026, and 41st, summer theatre tour.
Book early and save with our early bird ticket prices. Available for all ticket types booked 2 weeks or more in advance of the event.
This will be an indoor performance with seating provided. Please feel free to bring cushions and blankets, if you wish, to help you feel more comfortable.
Parking for this event will be provided at The Barn and an overflow car park, if needed. Parking is limited and must be pre-booked, so please advise at the time of booking if you need to a parking space.
We ask for audience to arrange car shares where possible to help reduce the number of cars on site.

Please follow the instructions provided in the pre-event email (sent up to 24 hours before the event) and parking stewards on the day to ensure we can fit as many people as possible safely in the designated parking areas.
Please do not park along church lane as this obstructs the road for other users and emergency vehicles. Please do not park anywhere other than designated Barn car parks for this event. We cannot control when other car parks are locked and may not be able to assist if you car is parked elsewhere.
There is plenty of bicycle parking at The Barn for those arriving on two wheels and space for drop off / collection if you would like to arrange this.
The Barn’s pop-up bar will be open for this event serving a small selection of drinks and snacks. Cash and card payments are accepted.
