About the Show...
Step this way and come on an adventure with us to meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
This is a bold, playful, immersive reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, created for family audiences and designed as an outdoor theatrical experience where the story of Oz unfolds across the farm around you.
Audiences move together between scenes as Dorothy’s journey comes vividly to life through performance, music, and transformation. Each encounter brings you closer to the heart of the story, with characters and moments appearing all around in a shared, open-air world.
This style of outdoor theatre creates a joyful sense of freedom for children and families — space to be outside, to move between moments of storytelling, to enjoy picnics in the landscape, and to feel fully part of the adventure as it unfolds.
A barn dance brings everyone together in celebration, while pre- and post-show activities such as crafts, dressing up, and face painting extend the experience beyond the performance itself, turning the day into a full Oz encounter.

We are very excited to share this unique theatrical experience with you. Promenade performance involves a short walk around the farm, led by the actors to meet different characters and help Dorothy and her friends on their adventures. The final scenes culminate underneath a giant tipi tent, with seating provided.
You are welcome to bring your own picnics to enjoy before, during or after the show. We think this is all part of the magic and excitement of outdoor theatre. At this performance there will be a bar available to purchase additional drinks and snacks.
Toilets are available at various locations on site.
This performance is suitable for adults and children of all ages.
There is parking available on the farm. We will endeavour to sign post clearly and have marshals to assist you. However, please note the entrance to the farm is a little hidden from the busy Long Crendon Rd. The farm is also reachable on foot or by bike from Thame, just be mindful when crossing the busy roundabout.
Just like any open-air theatre we embrace the weather as audience and actors. We will not cancel, refund or pause a show because of rain. In the event that the weather becomes dangerous for our actors we will postpone the start time of the performance. If we have a wild tempest during the performance we will simply pause the show to allow the weather to settle, offer you shelter and resume where we left off.
Umbrellas and waterproofs. Sunhats, sunglasses and sun cream. Be prepared for all British weather.
We want this show to be as welcoming and inclusive as possible. The nature of this performance involves travelling around farmland. Access needs are individual, and we’re very happy to discuss the site and options with you in advance so you can decide whether this experience will work for you. Please feel free to get in touch before booking.
