The Marvellous & Unlikely Fete of Little Upper Downing

A new production made specifically for rural touring, commissioned and produced by
Farnham Maltings.

The most important day in the village calendar is looming and the eccentric inhabitants of Little Upper Downing are all in a flutter. There's gossip in the tearoom, a flurry in the florists and that's to say nothing of the deep seated rivalry on the allotments. The village is pulling out all the stops and the fete hasn’t even started yet!

Join Little Bulb Theatre for a theatrical feast celebrating the unique charms of village life and the people who live there. Expect live music, vibrant visuals and a vast array of unforgettable characters as they prepare for the big day that's getting increasingly out of control!...

Tickets at £5 for adults and £2.50 for children available from Llanfechain Community Shop

or by ringing June on 01691 828077.

‘Just wanted to say what a fantastic night we had last night watching Little Bulb Theatre perform. They had so much energy and kept our audience transfixed (even the 6 year olds in the front).
