Recommended for children age 3+

Each trail ticket admits 1 child only to take part in the trail. Children must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Please note: purchasing your ticket through Eventbrite incurs a booking fee, but guarantees entry at a set time.

To buy tickets at face value, you can purchase on the day from our Visitor Centre, but this is subject to availability. As this is due to be a popular event, we may sell out of available tickets for purchase on the day of your visit or you may be given a later time slot to enter Bramall Hall.

The Girl on the Train (amateur theatre production) | Chads Theatre | until Sat 24 October

Taut, atmospheric, and gripping from the very first moment, The Girl on the Train is a thrilling drama which follows Rachel as she becomes entangled in a missing persons investigation that blurs the lines between truth, memory, and obsession.

As fragmented recollections collide and secrets surface, nothing is quite what it seems. Dark, suspenseful, and emotionally charged. A journey into deception, desire, and the unreliability of perception.

Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 24th October:- the matinee at 2.30pm and the evening performance at 7.45pm.
