Enid Blyton was loved by generations of children and sold over 600 million books, yet she was a complex and controversial figure.

Following the sell-out performance based on Agatha Christie in 2024, in this compelling one-woman play, actor Liz Grand returns to the GAP Festival with her portrayal of this remarkable children’s author and brings her incredible, and often surprising, story to life on stage.

Doors open at 6:30 PM.

The show runs from 7:00 PM to 8:45 PM with a 15-minute interval, and will be followed by a Q&A with the performer from 9:00 PM to 9:30 PM.


No audience photography or video is permitted during the event.

The Gap Festival

The GAP Festival is a celebration of the arts and entertainment that started as an ambitious cultural project in 2014 as a legacy to the Queen’s Jubilee.

After the first Festival, the word spread and now a Festival takes place in June every other year in the beautiful Goring Gap villages of Goring and Streatley.

It brings outstanding performers and artists together with events encompassing art, music, literature, comedy, theatre, science and more.

The Goring and Streatley Festival, as it is officially known, is a registered charity.

They rely on the generous support of their volunteers, sponsors, and individual donations to bring this Festival to you.

The GAP Festival exists to promote, educate and engage people with arts and cultural activities in our community.
