Illyria presents The Hound of the Baskervilles at Culzean Castle & Country Park

Illyria presents The Hound of the Baskervilles at Culzean Castle & Country Park.

An evening of mystery, intrigue and things that go woof in the night.

Who killed Sir Charles Baskerville? Can anyone prevent the same fate befalling the young Sir Henry Baskerville? Is a monstrous hound really roaming Dartmoor? Why is someone systematically stealing Sir Henry’s shoes? And how does a ghostly hound manage to leave vast paw-prints and other unwelcome evidence of its existence?

The original and greatest literary detective of them all, Sherlock Holmes, and his assistant Doctor Watson, tackle the most baffling case of their careers in this faithful, cheeky but chilling adaptation.

Time: Performance starting at 18:30 with doors opening for picnics at 18:00. Running time (approx): 2hrs 20mins

Location: Castle West Green

Prices:
Adults (18 & over) – £20
Children (aged 5 – 17, under 5s go free): £10
(Ticket includes entry to Country Park from 18:00).

The event will be held on West Green and parking is available at Home Farm Car Park. 

Tantalising treats for your tastebuds, refreshing drinks and burgers from Culzean’s very own BBQ will be available to purchase on the night

The performance is based outdoors. Please bring your own seating, blankets and pillows and arrive in plenty of time to get a good spot. As we can never relay too much on the Scottish weather, please be prepared to dress appropriately for the weather
