The performance is set to take place on the south lawns, which are not normally open to the public.
Tickets are £15 each and must be purchased in advance, with proceeds going to The Friends of Bawdeswell and Bylaugh Churches.
Designed by the same architect who created the Houses of Parliament and Downton Abbey's Highclere Castle, Bylaugh Hall was once the third-largest estate in Norfolk.
