Nevill Holt, near Medbourne, a 13th century Leicestershire estate, is this year celebrating art in all its forms, when scores of famous names and acclaimed productions stop by for its inaugural multi- faceted festival which has expanded its annual opera festival to host music, theatre, art, comedy and fascinating talks with the likes of Andrew Marr, Elizabeth Day, Phil Tufnell and Kristin Scott-Thomas sharing the line-up with Mozart and Max Richter.

We are celebrating 90 years of drama in 2024 and will be performing ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ by Alan Ayckbourn on Wednesday 20 - Saturday 23 November 2024.

Hopefully, this time the sun will be shining and we will be able to sit in our hall’s gorgeous little garden.
