COME rain or shine literary lovers will be flocking to Walton Hall this summer to catch one of three open air theatre performances.

The series of shows, which includes Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Twelfth Night and Edith Nesbit's The Railway Children, has been a big success in the past and organisers are hoping that visitors will pack a picnic and enjoy the performances again this year.

This summer's shows, which will take place in the sun or the rain, are Romeo and Juliet on Thursday, Twelfth Night on Wednesday, and The Railway Children on Thursday, August 10.

Tickets are priced £9 for adults and £7 for concessions and are available from Pyramid box office on 442345 or in person at Walton Gardens Heritage Centre.
