King Arthur and the Holy Fail
2026-07-21 16:00 - 18:00 | Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, Chester Road, Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, B36 9BT, United Kingdom
Our Medieval summer continues with the return of Three Inch Theatre’s wonderful family friendly show..
An epic tale of Arthurian adventure and medieval mayhem.

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 Tuesday 21st July, join us at Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens. 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!
