25 May 1767

Event Information
Theatre: Vauxhall Gardens
Theatrical Season: 1766-1767
Volume: 4
Comments: NNeville MS Diary: We lighted at Somerset Coffee-house and soon after took a boat from Somerset stairs to Spring Gardens, Vauxhall, open for the first time this season. These gardens are lighted by lamps disposed in different figures, with an orchestra from which the company are entertained from 7 to 10 with music...An artificial cascade from rocks which, continuing for 10 or 15 minutes only, has a fine effect. M. meeting with some acquaintance, we supped under the trees and after trying in vain to get a coach, returned and had some wine in one of the Boxes. I scarcely tasted any thing...all the wine at Vauxhall is vile. I proposed walking home, as it is very dangerous to go by water in the night. Half past 1 in the morning when I entered our house
