This will be the second time Illyria has entertained local audiences.

“Illyria has performed topnotch outdoor theatre for more than thirty years and we’re delighted to visit Aden Country Park this year.” said Artistic Director Oliver Gray.

Aden Country Park are pleased to welcome Illyria once again.

“We’re all feeling the need to blow off some steam and get together with our loved ones.

Enjoying entertainment outdoors is the perfect way to do that.” said Justine Tough, BDP Development Officer.

Justine continued, “Robin Hood is a swashbuckling adventure for the whole family.

"It promises laughter, mischief, and mayhem.”

While good King Richard is away fighting the crusades, his friend Robert Fitzooth, under the assumed name of Robin Hood, resolves to relieve corrupt landowners of their wealth, to ruin the inept Sheriff of Nottingham and to do all he can to prevent the power-mad Prince John from seizing the throne.

Featuring tales of camaraderie, good against evil, swashbuckling action and riotous comedy, this remains one of Illyria's most popular ever titles. You'll definitely laugh, you'll probably cry - and if you're not cheering at the archery competition involving the entire audience then you must be dead.

The event at Aden Country Park will take place on July 17 at 7pm.

It promises to be a fantastic opportunity for locals to celebrate the return of summertime together.

The event will be held outdoors in the uniformed campsite area of the park.

Tickets cost £16 per adult and £8 per child and are available through Illyria.co.uk.

The show will also be performed on Saturday, July 15 at Ellon Castle Gardens, Ellon at 6.30pm and on Sunday, July 16 at Logie, Steading, Forres at 6pm.
