At Robin Hill, Come From Away runs on Saturday 5 September. Set aside 1 hours 45 minutes; the published start is 20:00 and the finish 21:45.

Horse Box Theatre stages the musical story of Gander, the Newfoundland town that welcomed stranded air passengers after 9/11. The outdoor Robin Hill setting gives this familiar production an Island-scale stage, with the performance finishing before 10pm. The musical follows a small Newfoundland town responding to thousands of stranded travellers after 9/11. Its ensemble story of practical kindness should suit an outdoor audience gathered together on a Saturday night. Robin Hill works on an outdoor scale, with enough space for a marked route or gathered audience. Once evening arrives, the park’s paths and trees provide more than a backdrop.

The show starts at 20:00 and finishes at 21:45. Advance booking is required, and Robin Hill’s outdoor setting means the forecast should influence clothing rather than whether you expect a theatre roof. Saturday is likely to be the easiest date for families with older children or groups avoiding a work night, though the source gives no specific age guidance.
