Trees felled in Headington Hill Park
In early July 2008 twelve trees in Headington Hill Park were felled for safety reasons. The Creation Theatre Company is using them as benches for the audience during its two-month run of A Midsummer Night's Dream from 4 July to 13 September 2008.
The following planning application was also approved: "Temporary use of land from June to September 2008 for the siting of various structures including a catering marquee and logs for seating in connection with a 'promenade' theatre production. Temporary use of the 'Dairy' building for toilets and storage".
