Theatre & Dinner Trip

Dinner and Theatre The Mill at Sonning

With much of the original structure retained, this 18th Century Flour Mill has been converted into a renowned Dinner Theatre. Patrons enjoy a fresh home-cooked meal – with not a microwave in sight! – before watching the performance in the 215 seat air-conditioned auditorium.

Pre-dinner drinks with a view of The Thames or watching the working Waterwheel in the bar, is an added treat.

High Society kick started, what has become, a very popular feature of the Sonning programme, the Winter musical revival. We missed it first time round, visiting our first musical there the following Winter. So, I’m thrilled we have a second chance to see what started it all off.

We’re invited to the wedding of the year, and what a swell party it’s going to be! Long Island socialite Tracy Lord is planning her lavish High Society nuptials with 700 guests and oceans of champagne. But who exactly will be the groom? Her fiancé – the self-made but boring George? Or her glamorous and dangerous ex-husband Dexter who turns up on the scene determined to win her back. Or maybe news reporter Mike Connor, who has been sent to cover the wedding for his tabloid paper and who falls head over heels in love with the captivating Miss Lord. Come and enjoy this swell party and find out which suitor she chooses.

Cole Porter’s classic feel-good musical is based on The Philadelphia Story and the 1956 film starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Full of songs you know from True Love to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, it is an extravaganza not to be missed.

Having previously won ‘UK’s Most Welcoming Theatre’, we are assured our usual first-class experience enjoying a home-cooked 2 course meal before the show followed by tea or coffee.
