🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Based on Thomas Harris’s gripping literary masterpiece, this electrifying new production brings one of the most iconic psychological thrillers of all time to the stage. Tense, dark and utterly compelling, it follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling as she is sent to interview the brilliant but terrifying Dr Hannibal Lecter in the hope that he can help track down serial killer Buffalo Bill.
Another girl is missing and the clock is ticking. But Lecter has plans of his own, and Clarice soon finds herself drawn into a chilling psychological game where every question comes at a cost.
🤩 THE ICONIC PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. A WORLD STAGE PREMIERE.
Written by award-winning playwright Gina Gionfriddo and directed by acclaimed theatre-maker Nikolai Foster, this gripping adaptation stars John Partridge (EastEnders, Cabaret) as Hannibal Lecter, Mollie Gallagher (Coronation Street) as Clarice Starling, Oliver Farnworth (Emmerdale) as Jack Crawford, and Sam Jackson (Skins) as Buffalo Bill.

Please inform members of the Walled Garden Project at the entrance and every effort will be made to provide an alternative route, provide commentary on the area, or help with pushing if there are volunteers available. Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.
🐶 DOGS
Dogs on leads with well-behaved owners are most welcome at the Walled Garden.
🅿️ PARKING
Parking is in an immediately adjacent car park with clearing marked disabled parking bays. Pre-booking is not required. Please note the Walled Garden is not at the hotel entrance.

🗓 2026 DATES & TIMES
▪️Wednesday 30th September: 10am - 1pm
▪️Friday 9th of October: 10am - 1pm
ℹ️ DETAILS
There’s no need to stay for the whole session, just pop along when you can to help out. Everyone is welcome. We would also love to meet anyone who is interested in regular Conservation Volunteering in Ampthill Park. There is an opportunity to join a new volunteer group meeting every month to work alongside the Park Rangers and undertake a variety of conservation tasks.
These two events are opportunities to come and find out more.
🏵 SNOWDROP FLOWERS
Snowdrops are closely associated with remembrance so you may want to plant snowdrops in memory of a loved one and be part of a larger community effort. The bulbs will flower early next year, 200 years after Lord and Lady Holland planted the double Lime Avenue. This will form part of the Alameda’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2027.
🌱 TOOLS PROVIDED
The park team will be on site to provide tools and show you what to do. If you are interested in the Conservation volunteering, we will explain our plans and provide information.
ℹ️ FOR MORE INFORMATION & LOCATION
Further Information on volunteering and any updates for this event will be available via Ampthill Town Council's website and you can email council@ampthill-tc.gov.uk for more information.
