A Roald Dahl classic performed by Illyria theatre company on the Sunken Lawn in front of the House. All Mr Fox wants from life is to feed his family, and fortunately farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one short, one fat, one lean) have an ample supply of chickens, geese and ducks. But Boggis, Bunce and Bean are not just any farmers – they are the cruelest, meanest and most ruthless farmers you could ever meet, and they are determined to put a stop to Mr Fox once and for all. As they rev up their mechanical diggers and load their guns, Mr Fox’s chances are slim at best… Or will the sharpest wit win?
