Occasionally during the summer, the garden hosts outdoor plays. I've seen Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream here in 2004, and Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest in 2005. Check the NT website for Events at Charlecote Park.

Just a kilometre away on the road to Hampton Lucy is Charlecote Mill, a working flour watermill.
