George Wimpey takes centre stage

Housebuilder George Wimpey is playing a starring role in this year’s summer season at Gawsworth Hall Open Air Theatre in Macclesfield, Cheshire.

The company, which recently launched its Jasmine Park development on Whirley Road in Henbury, is sponsoring The Three Musketeers, a swashbuckling production by The Wilmslow Green Room Society that runs from 23rd to 25th July.

The developer has donated £500 to the Society to help it stage this year’s lavish version of Alexandre Dumas’ action-packed novel on the Gawsworth lawns amid the romantic backdrop of the Hall.

The play’s director Celia Bonner said: “This is the Wilmslow Green Room’s 37th year at Gawsworth and, true to form; this year’s production will be a real family affair, with glamorous 16th century costumes and swashbuckling displays of sword fighting.

“It costs us a great deal to stage our open-air productions every year, so we are incredibly grateful to George Wimpey for its support. The money will help enormously with production costs and help us to give our audiences a fabulous evening.”

Anthony Mansfield, regional sales and marketing director for George Wimpey, said: “At George Wimpey, we always try to get involved with the local community when building in a new location, so it’s great to be able to play a part in this production.”

When complete Jasmine Park will consist of 123 homes, comprising two, three, four and five bedroom properties. The development has already courted a great deal of interest from buyers with over 100 visitors turning up for the opening weekend.

George Wimpey has recently unveiled two show homes – the four bedroom detached Eaton and the three bedroom Ashley Mews home for visitors to view at their leisure.
