Northanger Abbey

Saturday 27 June 2026 at 2pm & 7pm

The power of stories. The power of the imagination.

This summer, Moving Parts Theatre Company brings you Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. A thrilling Gothic tale of dark deeds… or a playful, heartwarming Regency romance? Let’s find out, shall we?

Following the huge success of last summer’s Vanity Fair, this brand-new adaptation of Austen’s most theatrical novel follows the fortunes of Catherine Morland, a wild devotee of “horrid” fiction. Growing up in a world of balls, bonnets and Bath society, Catherine dreams of discovering secrets, skeletons, and ancient mysteries. But does she have what it takes to become… a HEROINE?

Tickets:

Adults: £25 + booking fee
Concessions: £20 + booking fee
Family tickets available

Bring a picnic, a picnic blanket or camping chair. Even though it’s summer, this is an outdoor performance, and we recommend that you also bring sun screen, warm clothes and waterproofs. Please take all litter home with you. Each performance lasts approximately 2 1/2 hours.
