The Three Inch Fools present ‘King Arthur and the Holy Fail’ at Elstow Abbey in Milton Keynes on 3 September 2026 at 19:00. The event is an outdoor storytelling performance with ticket prices ranging from free to £66.76.
The Three Inch Fools present an epic tale of Arthurian adventure and medieval mayhem.
In a land of daring quests, dashing knights, and endless jousting, there lived a would-be hero - waiting in the wings - who went by the name of Arthur. When Camelot is rocked to it’s core by a tragic - and frankly improbable - incident involving a large table of an undisclosed shape, Arthur is thrust into the quest of a lifetime. Will he bravely battle through blistering cold and scorching fire to save his beloved realm, or will he crumble as fate refuses to cooperate?
Destiny awaits, chivalry calls, and the quest to end all quests begins. Saddle up - things are about to get legendary.
★★★★★ – “So entertaining…laugh-out-loud funny”★★★★★ – “Riotously fun. Hugely enjoyable”★★★★★ – “The ultimate British theatrical experience” – Hastings Independent Press★★★★★ – “Great fun for the whole family…my kids are still talking about it!”
