Outdoor Theatre

Fri 30th August @ 10:00 am
 Tue 3rd September @ 5:00 pm

Notice this Notice Theatre Group are back by popular demand. Another great production full of fun for all the family.

Notice this Notice set sail for Crich Tramway Village again this Summer, with their brand new swashbuckling show, perfect for piratey punters young and old.

Set sail with young Jim Hawkins for Treasure Island! The crew is ready, the anchor is raised, and the map is in hand, what could possibly go wrong?

A rollicking, raucous, rum-soaked adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s much loved story with a healthy dose of eccentric Notice this Notice silliness.

During the first or 2nd week in Aug you can see expanses of heather starting to appear in the Derbyshire Peak district and it is usuallly at its best towards the end of August. A good place to start is Over Owler Tor or Surprise View (both near Hathersage)

Every November and December, grey seals come to the Donna Nook coastline to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes; a wildlife spectacle which attracts visitors from across the UK.
 
Visitors should be aware that the Ministry of Defence still maintains part of the area as a bombing target range and under no circumstances should anyone enter the bombing area when red flags are flying. However, most of the dune area is accessible at all times.
(The RAF firing range isn't normally used at weekends)
