Described as 'Downton Abbey with gardening tips', Old Herbaceous is a charming one-man play about the humorous love story of a single-minded and yet gentle man with a passion for plants.

With an acute and sometimes hilarious observation of relationships between the classes in a simpler age, the play is sprinkled with witticisms and epithets which has entranced audiences all around the country. The evening blossoms into tender humour, much in the traditionally understated English style of the early 20th century.

As the lead, renowned actor Giles Shenton truly lives the part of the legendary Head Gardener, Herbert Pinnegar, inviting you to feel included in a private chat from a bygone, comforting age. Keeping you engrossed, amused and emotionally engaged from start to finish, Old Herbaceous will leave you with a feeling that, perhaps, all’s right with the world.
 
Food and drink will be available to purchase in the evening. Please bring your own seating and warm layers as the performance will take place outside.
