Join us for this warm-hearted tale that follows the highs and lows of a father–son relationship. An open-air adaptation of David Walliams’ Bad Dad is the perfect summer family entertainment.

So, pack your picnics, grab your wet weather gear or sun-cream (or both), something to sit on, and join Frank and Gilbert as they navigate their way through car chases and convicts in the struggle to escape the clutches of the local crime lord and clear Gilbert’s name.
