Join the HandleBards troupe for a hilariously high-octane production of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' like you've never seen before.

We all know the story. Three Witches promise Macbeth the Scottish crown and like any normal people would, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth plot to kill the king. Things get rapidly out of hand from there as foul deeds are done, plots unravel and mysterious spirits appear….

The HandleBards are an intrepid three-strong troupe spending the summer touring Macbeth by electric van, bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK.

This is an outdoor production, so please bring a blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather! Suitable for all ages and apparitions.

Buy your ticket (£5 - £20.50) HERE 

Important information:

  • Doors open at 5:30pm
  • Seating will not be provided so please make sure to bring your own blanket or low backed beach chair to sit on.
  • In case of rain, please don’t use umbrellas as they block sightlines for other audience members. Please dress for the weather.
