King Arthur - A family adventure (Outdoor Theatre)
2022-07-20 18:00 | Ivy Lane School Field
Somewhere in Britain, a long time ago, a very, very, very long time ago. So long ago that nobody quite knows whether it happened or not. Or where it happened or not.
A boy pulled a sword from a stone and became King. A story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist and magic.
This fun and farcical adventure is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics. And some silly jokes…

The Last Baguette makes entertaining, accessible and eccentric work for family audiences and is company in residence at Pound Arts, Corsham.
The company was formed from a shared love of theatre, bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Philippe Gaulier and Jacques Lecoq schools.
Brought to you by Rag and Bone Arts CIC – committed to increasing the arts provision in Chippenham with generous support from the Chippenham Lions Club.

Tickets cost £6.50 in advance, £8 on the day.
Bringing seating or picnic blankets
Suitable for age 5+
Gates open from 5.30pm
Refreshments available from Nourishers.

Book tickets here.

Battle of Chippenham Re-enactment

The English Civil War returns to Chippenham as the Town plays host to the English Civil War Society and the town is returned to the dramatic Summer of 1643 when the Civil War raged across Wiltshire and the West Country.
Each afternoon there will be intense conflict as the Royalist and Roundhead Armies clash in Battle on Monkton Park with over 400 Pikemen, Musketeers, Gunners, and Cavalry all taking part. This event, inspired by a dramatic moment in Chippenham’s history will prove to be a massive weekend of Entertainment, Excitement and Education by the English Civil War Society.
As in 1643, Chippenham Village will also be occupied by Royalist soldiers from Sir Ralph Hopton’s army marching from the hard-fought battle at Lansdown Hill near Bath. Soldiers and Officers will be working at their Military Encampment while expecting a visit from their General Sir Ralph. A Regiment of Foote, Cavalry on Horseback, and Cannon will be taking part in further displays through the day for Visitors to see on Monkton Park.
There will be a large and thriving encampment and tented village on The Island, Monkton Park, where 17th Century trades and crafts will be demonstrated by the townsfolk and including a working printing press giving out the latest newssheets with tidings of the war and other news. Here the re-enactors will be happy to meet visitors, explain their work and to share stories about Chippenham’s role in the English Civil War.
