A Summer Night's Dreamland Community BBQ

Join Free Theatre, the Waltham community and our collaborators for an evening in the orchards and woodlands of our local sanctuary Waldheim, Seven Oaks.

Musicians, circo artists and actors will come together for an evening of dreaming in nature. Rove at leisure amongst the bands of actors, giant puppets and players from the Christchurch Circus Trust, Lyttelton Circo Arts and the UC School of Music who are joined by taonga puoro performer Geoff Low, Mark Menzies, Daniel Cooper’s Seasoning Ensemble, Nature on the Run, Mark Vanilau and Demarnia Lloyd.

​Resident Seven Oaks artists invite you into their studios and roaming Shakespearean madmen and fools will be sure to lead you down the garden path. Bottom’s Bar and the Seven Oaks Community BBQ will ease you on your journey. Bring your family and friends to a community celebration of this special place.

Performances 7:00pm–10:00pm.
Free Seven Oaks Community BBQ starts at 5pm.

Tickets sales at venue.
