Thank you for your interest in the Bristol Shakespeare Festival.

Our Mission

We believe in the transformative power of Shakespeare.

The performance of Shakespeare's work builds bridges between communities and establishes common ground.

Performance in public parks helps make our common space safer and encourages new audiences.

Above all, we think it's fun.
