In July 2021 the Mansion hosted NDP Circus Productions who held a two week course culminating in a workshop performance of Victor Hugo’s famous novel “Notre Dame de Paris”. The Neo-gothic Mansion provided a stunning background to this innovative production incorporating music, dance and circus skills. The cast included experienced performers from the NDP Circus and the local training centre for circus skills, the School of Larks, as well as the course students, some of whom were able to participate thanks to grant support from Arts Council England.
