Welcome!

Saturday 15th June 2024 - 'The Tempest'

​

We look forward to welcoming you to Lamyatt, near Castle Cary,  in June 2024 for our 14th production: Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', performed by the Festival Players (directed by Michael Dyer formerly of the Minack Theatre).

 

New this year - Marquee in the event of bad weather and madrigals sung at 6

With views over the village and far beyond, our venue is Lamyatt's answer to the Pyramid Stage.

Thank you to Jen and Ern Richards for allowing this event to take place in their fields by the village hall and to Tom & Richard Calver of Westcombe Dairy for providing the marquee.

​

Performance location:

Lamyatt Village Hall

Portway Hill

Lamyatt

​

We suggest you approach from the village centre rather than  down Portway Hill as it is is very narrow with limited passing space.

 

We hope you’ll join us for our next production! Tickets are on sale now. 

 

Come back to shakespeareinlamyatt.co.uk soon for updates!

​

Gates open at 5.30pm for picnics. Madrigals will be sung at  6pm. Performance at 7pm. 

​

Marquee available in case of bad weather.

 

Bring your own rugs or low back chairs. Assistance dogs only and no babies please.   

​

Professionally produced by the renowned Festival Players Theatre Company, since its first performance in Lamyatt, the all-male cast has entertained over 3,000 people in Somerset.

 

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.
