The Three Inch Fools present an epic tale of Arthurian adventure and medieval mayhem.
About this Event

In a land of daring quests, dashing knights, and endless jousting, there lived a would-be hero - waiting in the wings - who went by the name of Arthur. When Camelot is rocked to it’s core by a tragic - and frankly improbable - incident involving a large table of an undisclosed shape, Arthur is thrust into the quest of a lifetime. Will he bravely battle through blistering cold and scorching fire to save his beloved realm, or will he crumble as fate refuses to cooperate?

Destiny awaits, chivalry calls, and the quest to end all quests begins. Saddle up - things are about to get legendary.



★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny”
★★★★★ – “Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable”
★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press
★★★★★ – “Great fun for the whole family…my kids are still talking about it!”


On Thursday 3rd September, join us at Elstow Abbey. Bring your own cushions, and camping-chairs and join us for this most epic of quests. Come prepared for the weather - the performance will continue come rain come shine!


This performance is an outdoor performance. We recommend that you bring blankets/chairs/cushions etc. to sit on. Come prepared for the weather with warm coats and waterproofs etc, as the performance will continue come rain come shine! We ask that you don’t bring umbrellas as these can obscure the view for other people in the audience. 7pm start time, gates open from 6pm. The performance will last approximately 100 minutes (+ a 20 minute interval).

Refreshment will be available for purchase and picnics are welcome at this performance.

We recommend booking tickets for this performance online in advance. For further information about this performance please email [email protected].
