Extra! Extra! Painting stolen from distinguished art gallery!

Everyone's favourite detective duo (no, not Shaggy and Scooby) are given the Jenny Wren Productions treatment in this open air theatre show suitable for all the family.

Holmes and Watson are called upon to investigate the disappearance of a legendary painting, The Governor's Nose. But all is not as elementary as it seems. As mysterious forces – and an assortment of shady characters – work to undermine our heroes, they need all the wit, guile, and deduction capabilities in their arsenal, along with the help of the steadfast Mrs Hudson and Detective "Always-One-Step-Behind" Lestrade.

The hour grows late. The paint has dried. The game is afoot.

Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor's Nose is a comic new play, inspired by short stories The Naval Treaty and The Man with the Twisted Lip, with apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Tickets are £15 for adults and £10 for children under 16, and the event will take place in The Folk of Gloucester courtyard (with an indoor alternative in case of bad weather).
