Gates 6pm, Performance 7pm

25 August 2025

Nymans, Handcross, near Haywards Heath, West Sussex, RH17 6EB

Ever the matchmaker and never the match? So seems to be the case for Emma Woodhouse…

Bring a picnic and sit back, relax & enjoy a performance in front of the romantic ruins. Suitable for audiences of all ages.

And yet Emma remains more than content to help see that those around her are paired off into advantageous alliances for all concerned. In fact, she fancies herself rather good in the role of matchmaker. But, after an ill-advised union leads to heartbreak and bitterness, can Emma learn the greatest lesson in love? That romance is not something that can be forced and the most propitious matches always make themselves…
