Don’t miss!

Wonderful actors and performances. Definitely worth the trip! I love it more every year I go. Don’t miss the free discussions about the plays the afternoon before the performance outside the theatre.

Great place

First time going to the Shakespearean festival and will definitely go back. Very easy to find, parking was easy and staff is pleasant & knowledgeable. You can walk around the area and take photos of the different Shakespeare statues.
