With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare himself they present this great play as he first saw it, in the open air, with an all male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.

Sitting under the same stars that Shakespeare sat under and hearing his poetry brought to life the company offer an unparalleled authentic, excellent and magical experience; one that is truly unique. They are renowned for productions of great vivacity, clarity, quality and accessibility. Their productions champion authenticity whilst breathing fresh, new life into these extraordinary plays. Seeing a production by The Lord Chamberlain’s Men will ignite, rekindle or maintain a burning passion in the greatest playwright the world has ever seen.

Returning by popular demand after a sell-out performance at the festival in 2023, in 2024 we will be offering ticket-holders the opportunity to arrive early and picnic in the grounds before the performance.

Bring camping chairs and dress warm even on a hot day as temperatures dip later on, so do bring blankets and a warm coat!

NOTE: This is a ‘Rain or Shine’ performance that will be taking place outside and will go ahead despite rain or the like.

The performance will take place in the field adjacent to the tower, with car parking at one end and the performance at the other.

Car parking is included in the price of your ticket.

Tickets will be going on sale early in 2024. Consider becoming a Benefactor (for as little as £50) to secure priority booking for all our 2024 events. Benefactor applications open in October 2023.
