Experience Handel/Milton’s L’Allegro through all your senses other than sight. Enter into the historical hall of The Vache house to hear our singers and orchestra perform this beautiful piece, and allow expert multisensory guides to create a heightened world of smell, touch, taste, and movement. Individual requests and sensitivities will be taken fully into account.

Grounds will be open from 12pm until 8.30pm both days; the VB bar will be serving refreshments and guests are welcome to bring picnics.
