The Memory Garden

By Simon Bolton

The Secret Garden at the Castle Bookshop, Ludlow

July 2022 and July 2023

Our joyous celebration of Ludlow's less glamorous but lively 70s and 80s heyday with sofa-racing Sandpits kids, the May Fair's risky rides, the cinemas, the shops, the old swimming pool, the fights, and of course the Sticky Carpet nightclub. All told through a time-shifting love story infused with humour and fondness for what made (and still makes) Ludlow what it is.

Following great feedback after the first run and new insights and stories, we revived the production the following year.

“I loved it. Fast moving, poignant, hilarious and the audience dancing in the aisles at the end. What more do you want from an evening’s entertainment. Brilliant!”

“Great night at the secret garden venue in Ludlow. Rooftop Theatre and the Memory Garden. Fantastic! From now on I'll be going to all their productions like a slightly demented groupie.” Polly Bolton

“It was super, I enjoyed every minute of it (even the rain)!” Tish Dockerty

“Absolutely great evening... so much talent!” Kate Cartwright
