ONE of Shakespeare’s most iconic plays, The Tempest, came to Bridge Community Farms in Ellesmere Port over the weekend.

The Boaty Theatre Company and Chalice Productions performed a socially distanced performance of the play outdoors, which is set on a mystical fantasy island.

Clair Johnson, General Manager of Bridge Community Farm, said: “The event was a huge success and was completely sold out. We had lots of visitors who also tucked into an afternoon tea picnic box or a curry all made from our on-site café.”
