About the show

When the walls come down, life begins to grow

After the death of her parents, young Mary Lennox is sent from India to live with her reclusive uncle in a vast Yorkshire manor filled with locked doors and unspoken grief. Angry, lonely, and convinced she is unwanted, Mary begins to explore her strange new world — and in doing so uncovers a long-forgotten garden hidden behind ivy-covered walls.

As Mary slowly brings the garden back to life, she forms unexpected friendships with the warm-hearted Martha, the gentle animal-loving Dickon, and her sickly cousin Colin, who has been hidden away from the world. Together, they discover that healing can come from fresh air, hard work, and human connection.

This intimate studio production of The Secret Garden brings Frances Hodgson Burnett’s much-loved story to the stage, exploring how compassion, imagination, and hope can transform even the most wounded hearts.

But can a garden really change a life?

This stage adaptation by Elizabeth Newman captures the essence of the book, and it is brought to life with our joint production between Maskers and the youth of Light UP drama!

Please note there are two performances on Sunday 28th June 3.00p.m. and 7.00p.m.

Sunday 5th July performance is at 3.00p.m. All other performances start at 7.30p.m.
