Set in the period after the defeat of the Spanish Armada and during May Day celebrations, Merrie England tells a tale of the rivalry of Sir Walter Raleigh and the Earl of Essex for the affections and attentions of Queen Elizabeth I.

With stirring songs and music – including the well known “Yeomen of England”, “Oh Peaceful England” and “Dan Cupid hath a Garden” – with eight piece orchestra and Tudor costumes, this is an entertainment not to be missed.
