Picture the scene: a balmy evening, with the sun setting slowly, a chilled glass on wine in your hand. Add to that a unique evening of outdoor Shakespearean theatre.

Tickets for the 2017 Changeling Theatre tour, which takes in every corner of the county, have gone on sale.

This year's summer tour is a landmark one for the Maidstone-based company, as it marks its 20th anniversary.

Hamlet is the play chosen for this summer, and cast members are still to be announced.

Venues include many favourites, including Margate Beach, The Friars in Aylesford, Great Comp Garden near Borough Green, Dover Castle and Boughton Monchelse Place, near Maidstone, which is where the tour traditionally starts and finishes.

This year the tour will again take in Allington Castle, which it visited last year and is not usually open to the public, and will also perform at Jam on the Marsh, the Romney Marsh-based arts festival. For the first time it will also visit Leeds Castle.

The tour opens on Friday, June 30 and runs throughout July and into August.

Organisers are also keen to hear from former members through the last two decades to join them on tour.
