Our first Shakespeare in Lamyatt outdoor performance in the garden at Speeds Farm took place in 2011, the brainchild of hosts Simone and David Ash. A small volunteer team came together to create an event to raise funds for the upkeep of Lamyatt’s 13th century church and the redevelopment of its village hall.
