About Sherlock Holmes and the Mystery of the Governor’s Nose

When a valuable painting disappears from a distinguished gallery, there’s only one duo for the job. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are called in to investigate the mystery of the missing Governor’s Nose — but things quickly become more complicated than expected.

As shady characters emerge and unexpected twists unfold, Holmes and Watson must rely on their wit, logic and powers of deduction to uncover the truth. With help from familiar faces like Mrs Hudson and Inspector Lestrade, the game is truly afoot.

This comic adaptation takes inspiration from classic Conan Doyle stories, blending mystery, humour and playful storytelling into a lively theatre experience.

Set in the heart of Cotswold Sculpture Park, the amphitheatre creates a one-of-a-kind atmosphere for live theatre. Surrounded by nature and artwork, it’s the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy a summer evening performance.
