The Three Inch Fools are back at the Castle to celebrate their 10th anniversary!
It’s Midsummer’s eve and deep in an enchanted forest mischief is stirring. The Fairy King and Queen are feuding, four runaway lovers are tying themselves in knots, and a troupe of quite appalling actors are preparing a theatrical extravaganza destined to impress. With shapeshifting trouble-maker Puck at the helm, the course of true love never did run smooth.
Join us for a Lauriston Castle performance and prepare for a riotous summer adventure fit for all the family.
