Let The Sun Shine
Event details

Summer, 1969. The air is full of music, love and revolution.
This summer, the village will never be the same…
When a colourful music festival crashes into the quietest village you’ve ever seen, nothing – and no one – escapes unchanged.
Meet Harry, a small-town dreamer longing for a bigger life beyond the family business. As free spirits, flower children and larger-than-life festival-goers descend on his village, he discovers friendship, first love and, most importantly, his own voice. But can he persuade his traditional father to let him chase his dreams? Along the way you’ll meet unforgettable characters, from the mischievous Puck, a mysterious seller of dreams, to Joan, who discovers it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and embrace life’s second chances. Not to forget Sonny and Claire, who bring the audience interaction to the next level!
Packed with spectacular live music, dazzling choreography and a powerhouse cast of singers, Let the Sun Shine! is an unforgettable open-air musical bursting with heart, humour and the spirit of the 1960s. Featuring a sensational live band every song drives a story of love, friendship, family and finding the courage to be yourself.
So gather your friends, don some tie-dye, and join us under the summer sky for a feel-good theatrical event you’ll remember long after the final encore.
