Jack Brownridge-Kelly: The No.1 Holiday Destination
Powerstock Hut, Bridport, DT6 3TB
Saturday 7th November 2026 7:30PM
Building a nation is like going on holiday: it never turns out how you expect…
This bold, fast-paced new comedy is set in a freshly independent country with a big idea and absolutely no plan for what comes next.
A nation decides to solve the problem of mass tourism once and for all by nationalising it. What starts as an idealistic attempt to protect culture, community, and coastline quickly snowballs into a spectacular experiment, complete with absurd rules, escalating chaos, and consequences nobody saw coming.
Rooted in the Southwest, The No. 1 Holiday Destination promises a smart, silly, and uncomfortably familiar night at the theatre.

Running time 120mins + interval

Touring with Artsreach, Dorset’s rural arts charity.
