Designed as an event for the times, ready for visitors to book now with confidence, the Alfresco Theatre will take place in various UK locations as a Covid-compliant drive-in experience, with the setup relaxing as lockdown rules relax; eventually allowing visitors to sit outside in their own private patch to enjoy the show.
At The Alfresco Theatre, foodie fanatics will be able to tuck into an exclusive menu crafted by some of the country’s top chefs, while sipping a selection of craft cocktails, beers or wine from the roaming bar. There will also be a selection of alcohol-free drinks for the designated drivers, so everyone can enjoy a great day or night out.
Friday 14th May – Comedy Club
The Theatre will play host to Mark Watson’s Carpool Comedy Club, where comedy fans will be able to enjoy laugh-out-loud sets from Mark himself, Nish Kumar plus other support TBC.
Mark says: ‘I’m really excited that Carpool Comedy Club is back! We had a great time last year, bringing live comedy safely to the Drive & Dine tour, and we were overwhelmed both by the demand and by the response from audiences. I can’t wait to host what will be another memorable series of summer comedy nights’.
Saturday 15th May – LIVE MUSIC!
Saturday night will see the return of live music as fun-loving spice girl tribute act SPICE will open for world-renowned Bjorn Again: The ABBA Show for the ultimate night of pop.
