'Wensleydale Whey, The Grate Cheese Quest' by Mikron Theatre Company – Outdoor Theatre at Abbots Grange

  • Abbots Grange Church Street Broadway, England, WR12 7AE United Kingdom (map)

Mikron Theatre are returning after their sell-out performance of Hush Hush at the last Broadway Arts Festival. In 2026 they will transport you to the Yorkshire Dales in a hilarious quest to revive a lost recipe. The stakes are high: the Monks from the Abbey are desperately seeking a living soul to resurrect their traditional Wensleydale cheese. This charming tale promises a gouda time as it immerses you in a world of ghosts, grievances, and glorious cheese.

We’ll delve into the rich history of cheese, from its humble beginnings to its place on the most sophisticated platters, featuring a cast of characters who are whey out there. Expect a cheesy plot, a sprinkle of drama, and plenty of fromage-tastic musical numbers. Join us for a slice of the action – it’s going to be a legen-dairy Mikron show. It’s time to Brie-lieve in the power of cheese!

This performance will take place in the exclusive private grounds of Abbots Grange in the centre of Broadway, just steps from the village green. Built in the early part of 14th-century as the summer manor house and retreat for the Abbot of Pershore, it’s original medieval architecture, setting and serenity have attracted some remarkable house guests including Claude Monet, Oscar Wilde, John Singer Sargent, Mark Twain and Edward Elgar.
