Plan your perfect Adventure...

Outdoor Theatre: Pinocchio

Illyria Theatre and the Friends of the Calvert Trust bring Pinocchio to the gardens at Lowther Castle.

Lowthercastlepinocchio event.

Event Date

19 August 2026

Description

Childless toymaker Geppetto makes a wooden puppet – little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. He returns home hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves.

Since it was first published in 1883, Collodi’s classic has been translated into no fewer than 260 languages. Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
Please note - there will be a barbecue with burgers (Beef, Venison, & Veggie) and Cumberland Hot Dogs on offer.

Doors 5pm; timing of performance 6pm.
