Star bard

Shakespeare’s stars twinkle in the gardens

The plot: two sets of twins who are separated at birth wind up in the same town as their estranged parents. Mayhem ensues.

Some might call it a Comedy of Errors (Shakespeare did).

Grab a picnic blanket and hamper full of goodies and head down to the Royal Botanic Gardens for a hefty dose of seduction, infidelity and madness.

Fancy a jaunt out of town? Why not head to Rippon Lea House and Gardens or Duneira at Mount Macedon for a night of Lady Chatterley’s Lover under the stars?

Wandering around the grounds of these Historic Houses Trust mansions will get you in the right mindset. Drama, drama, drama is all that lies ahead.
