SUMMARY:Open Air Theatre: Sherlock Holmes – The Hound of the Baskervilles
DESCRIPTION:The Pantaloons Theatre Company in association with Friends of Longford Park presents\nSherlock Holmes – The Hound of the Baskervilles\nWednesday, June 17 2026 • 7 PM – 9 PM   (Gates Open: 6pm)\nOUTDOOR THEATRE | SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES | 2 HOURS INCLUDING INTERVAL\n \nHow can one show possibly contain so much action and adventure? Elementary, my dear!\nThe critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company present a brand-new riff on the fiendishly famous case.\nWill detective duo Holmes and Watson discover the deadly secret of the Baskerville family curse before it strikes again? Or are they barking up the wrong tree? Find out in this delightfully inventive show that will have you yelping with excitement and howling with laugher.\nFeatures live music, audience interaction and more mystery than you can shake a magnifying glass at.\nStick that in your pipe and smoke it!\n \nTickets\nYou can purchase  online at the Eventbrite Website (admin fees apply). Numbers may be limited this year so get your tickets fast! Ticket sales on Eventbrite will only be available up to 10:00am on the day of the event. If there are still tickets available after this time these will be sold on the gate (cash preferred).\n\nPlease note the booking fees charged for these tickets are not under the control of Friends of Longford Park. This year all ticket sales will be online.\nThis production will go ahead in all but the worst weather conditions (generally thunderstorms) so bring appropriate clothing (sunscreen, hat and an umbrella!).\nPlease bring a blanket or seat – there are no seats at the venue.\nIf the performance is cancelled you will be notified online and a refund will be given.\nChairs are not provided and places cannot be reserved in advance.\nDogs are not permitted in the audience area (guide dogs excepted).\nFor general information on the play see https://thepantaloons.co.uk/ or contact us at info@folp.co.uk.\n\n \nTickets Here\n\nLocation\nFor those that have not previously been to one of our open air theatre productions, the performance is held in the People’s Millions Garden adjacent to the formal Gardens. Click on the Satellite view on the map below for the exact location within the park. There will be two main access points, one on the Eastern side (follow the path alongside the Athletics Stadium) and a second on the Western side (follow the road past the Cafe and it’ll be on the right past the Community Allotments). Once you get inside the park follow the signs. There will be volunteers at hand should you require assistance.\nGates open at approx 6:00pm\nParking\nWe would rather you left the car at home, but if you do drive, the easiest option is to park at the large car park next to the Athletics Stadium off Ryebank Road. There is a second smaller car park past the cafe for people with mobility issues. We kindly ask you to respect the new parking restrictions within Longford Park.\nToilets\nToilets are located at Longford Cafe and will be open during this performance. Please note that the cafe itself closes at 4:00pm so you’ll need to bring your own refreshments and snacks.\n \n“A two-hour production of ingenuity, verve and wit celebrating the great detective’s adventures… But despite their cheekiness this remains a genuine homage to the stories… The company also has the best audience participation skills I have ever witnessed” —\n\n\n\n\nThe Oxford Mail\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPack a blanket, leave the hound at home, and prepare to spend two hours suspecting absolutely everyone. The game is afoot — and it’s heading straight for Longford Park.\n\n
