Sprite's young actors company 2011 Twelfth Night Outdoor shakespeare plays performed at Ripley Castle, Harrogate Outdoor theatre in Yorkshire

Learn from the best - Young Actors Summer School

Not just a show - an event!

High quality site-specific theatre

A truly unique and enchanting experience

The home of great outdoor theatre

Founded in 2004, by Liam and Hester Evans-Ford, we are committed  to producing high quality site-specific theatre that is exciting and accessible to everyone.

We have been running Sprite for seven years in the wonderful grounds of Ripley Castle, exploring every nook and cranny the grounds have to offer as we take our audiences on a magical ride, quite literally into the heart of some of Shakespeare's most wonderful plays.

Live music, actors rowing across lakes and hiding in trees, sword fights, chickens running wild - you name it, we do it!

There are no padded seats, no roof, no curtain call.  What we have is so much better, we have nature.  So relax as you feel the moss under your bottom, see the sun setting behind a beautiful scene, and have a glass of wine or two as our actors give you an evening you will never forget.

So come, promenade with us this summer, we guarantee you will have never seen theatre quite like it....
