  Billy Bishop Goes To War: a musical

  We hope that you will be able to join us for lunch on the terrace at Meaford Hall, followed by a matinee performance of this Canadian classic. Through humour, drama and song, this comedic musical drama, starring Mike Evans, weaves a narrative that explores the challenges, fears and triumphs of a young man thrust into the epicentre of one of the world's most devastating conflicts.

  In addition, Meaford Hall, in collaboration with the Billy Bishop Museum, will have a Gallery exhibit for a fully immersive experience.

  We have secured 30 tickets.
