🌺 From the first Wednesday in May to the last in September 2026, we open the doors of the Walled Garden, Luton and welcome visitors to our unique Capability Brown designed walled garden and its unique service buildings.

🌹 WHAT TO EXPECT
Entrance includes a fascinating tour of the walled garden and visitors are encouraged to break their visit with a picnic or a visit to the Woodyard Café. The garden is best enjoyed at a snail’s pace, entrance is for all day! Notice boards and displays are updated throughout the season allowing fascinating insight into the garden’s rich history.

♿️ ACCESSIBILITY
Every effort has been made to make the garden accessible to as many visitors as possible. With that in mind we have recently finished resurfacing the area around the sundial making it far easier for wheeled access. However, due to the age and rich history of the garden there are some areas that are not accessible by wheelchair. 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.

👻 If you love your theatre with a serious side of chills, Paranormal Activity at Milton Keynes Theatre looks set to be one of the must-see thrillers of September 2026.

⛔️ AGE GUIDANCE 15+
Please be advised that Paranormal Activity contains moments of high tension and strong language. Caution is advised for audiences under the age of 15.

⏱ RUNNING TIME
2 hours 20 minutes including interval

Inspired by the iconic horror film series, this brand-new live stage story follows James and Lou, who move from Chicago to London hoping to leave the past behind them… only to discover that places aren’t haunted, people are.

🎭 WHAT TO EXPECT
Fresh from a sell-out, extended London run, this spine-chilling production now heads out on its first-ever UK and Ireland tour. Expect rising tension, eerie twists and the kind of edge-of-your-seat atmosphere that will have you holding your breath one moment and jumping the next.

The cast includes James Bye (2:22: A Ghost Story, EastEnders) as James, Hannah Sinclair Robinson (The Play That Goes Wrong, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) as Lou, alongside Jo Castleton (War Horse) and Caroline Faber (Network, The Heiress).

🖼 Under The Grid - Celebrating MK Hip Hop Culture: Exhibition 2026 - Free entry, no booking required.

ℹ️ EVENT DETAILS
For the last year we've been running a major new Arts Council-funded project, shining a spotlight on Milton Keynes’s rich Hip Hop scene. In partnership with the OU’s OpenLearn, MÓTUS Dance, MK City Council, Break To The Beat and others, we are celebrating the past, present and future of local Hip Hop, through the voices, moves and creativity of the people who shaped it.

In May 2026, we released a limited edition vinyl compilation album, Under The Grid, featuring MK Hip Hop music spanning nearly four decades. Fully re-mastered, these releases celebrate musical creativity in the city, showcasing some of our most exciting hip hop artists.

Exploring the worlds of DJing/Emceeing, Street Art and Breakdance, the exhibition will also showcase artworks and artefacts from MK, as well as screening the new project film, Under the Grid, co-produced by the Open University.
