Following last year's 21st anniversary success with The Comedy of Errors, this year Stafford Festival Shakespeare brings the ultimate love story, Romeo and Juliet.

Established in 1991, Stafford Festival Shakespeare has fast become one of Europe's largest open air Shakespeare productions.

The perfect setting for Romeo and Juliet is provided with the striking background of Stafford Castle, and a purpose built auditorium under the stars. Stafford Festival Shakespeare has achieved national critical acclaim and this year's production promises to be one of the best yet.

Stafford Festival Shakespeare are again delighted to be working in association with The Lewis Partnership who will be offering exciting alternatives for your pre theatre picnic and dinner requirements. From a delicious three-course meal in the hospitality marquee to a mouth-watering picnic platter, you can dine in style with your family and friends in the beautiful surroundings of Stafford Castle.

Another exciting show has been added to this year's festival. Back by popular demand, the nations' favourite Rock n Roll variety show will be on at Stafford Castle for one night only. Performing hits from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, That'll be The day has been delighting audiences for over 25 years. It will be a great night out with tickets sure to sell fast.
