Families can enjoy four outdoor theatre shows in Tamworth’s picturesque Castle Grounds this summer.

The outdoor productions will take place on the lower lawn of the castle grounds near the bandstand, with Tamworth Castle in the background, with families welcome to bring picnic blankets or chairs and settle themselves in their own areas for the performance.
