Come From Away is based at Robin Hill on Sunday 6 September. The published times run from 20:00 to 21:45, a 1 hours 45 minutes session.

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. Gander’s response to stranded passengers after 9/11 closes the four-night run with a story built around strangers helping one another. The shared outdoor audience gives that theme room to land. Robin Hill’s woodland and open ground give outdoor performance and activity room to breathe after the daytime attraction has changed pace. Evening light makes the familiar park feel like a separate venue.

Tickets cost from £18 and must be booked. The final performance runs from 20:00 to 21:45, keeping the finish manageable before Monday while still using the night sky around Robin Hill. Bring suitable layers and check any weather update from Horse Box Theatre, since the production is outdoors. More arts and creative events appear across September if this closing date has sold out. Sunday is the last chance in the listed run, so it carries more urgency than the three earlier performances.
