Peter Rabbit delights sold-out audience as Trinity on Tour returns to Market Rasen
A sold-out audience filled Festival Hall in Market Rasen on Wednesday (August 26) as Trinity on Tour returned to the town with a family-friendly production of The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny.
The performance, delivered by Quantum Theatre in partnership with Gainsborough’s Trinity Arts Centre, attracted families from across the area, with young children enjoying the opportunity to see some of their favourite storybook characters brought to life on stage.
Refreshments were available throughout the afternoon courtesy of Market Rasen Town Council, giving families the chance to relax with an ice cream before and after the performance.
The event marked the fifth time Trinity on Tour has visited Market Rasen, bringing affordable live theatre directly into the community and making it easier for families to enjoy cultural experiences closer to home.
Councillor Stephen Bunney, ward member for Market Rasen, said the tour continues to grow year after year. “Events like this are all about affordability and making sure local people can enjoy high-quality arts and theatre experiences close to home. It’s fantastic to see so many families and young children enjoying themselves right here in Market Rasen.”
Councillor Moira Westley, Deputy Leader of West Lindsey District Council and ward member for Market Rasen, said: “Thanks to West Lindsey District Council, we’ve enjoyed GO Festival, WordFest and now Trinity on Tour in our town this year.
