Make a Night of It …
Begin your evening with a pre show drink by taking advantage of the fully licensed refreshment marquee. You may want to enjoy some of the delicious food available or bring along your own picnic to socialise with family and friends as you enjoy the magical night’s entertainment brought to you by the production team at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, responsible for Stafford Festival Shakespeare’s prestigious history.
We also have a range of corporate hospitality packages available, so why not meet before the show and unwind with clients or colleagues over drinks in your own marquee, enjoy a Bard classic and sample some top quality catering? For further information please call Stuart Boyd on 01785 253 595.
Warm clothing and blankets are advised because the night can get quite chilly and you won’t want anything to distract you from the unique Open Air experience. The seating grandstand is covered though so don’t be worried about the wonderful British Summertime!
