Launton Village Players Report for June 2023

Launton Village Players

Summer variety show: Come Rain or Shine

The sun is shining as I write, and we hope that the British weather is co-operative for our outdoor summer show Come Rain or Shine.

The show is suitable for all ages, including families, and will include an umbrella dance, solos and group singing of some well-known weather-related songs, and even a performance of a Flanders and Swan monologue.

There will be two performances on Saturday 15 July and Sunday 16 July at 2.30 pm in the open-air garden of Hare Leys Farm, Launton. Tickets are available now from www.ticketsource.co.uk/lvp, with Adults costing £10 and Children £5. Refreshments are available to purchase when you buy tickets, and on the day, including Pimms, prosecco, fruit juice, teas and coffees, home-made cake and ice creams. If you are unable to buy online, call us on 07864 715708 for cash and cheque purchases. Any questions? Contact us at tickets@launtonvillageplayers.org.uk or phone the number above.

There is plenty of parking space and we have disabled access to the garden. If you are unable to carry a chair do let us know as we can help out with a few requests for chairs.

We do hope you will be able to come and enjoy an afternoon’s entertainment in a beautiful garden, and help us raise money for two fantastic causes, Bicester Food Bank and UNICEF which continues to help children around the world.

We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your support.
