DELIGHTED children and their doting parents enjoyed an enchanting outdoor summer show in Caldecott Park.
Families snuggled up on picnic blankets to watch a performance of Beatrix Potter’s classic The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, performed by touring company Quantum Theatre.
The show followed beloved character Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures.
It was part of Rugby Summertime, a programme of free family entertainment being organised by Rugby Borough Council.
