Outdoor festivals of Shakespeare are a tried and tested formula which has proven successful in almost every major cultural capital in Europe and North America – New York, London, Chicago, Vancouver, Paris, Helsinki, San Francisco – even Bozeman, Montana!

Bard in the Botanics is proud to have added the name of Glasgow to this list.

Since our first festival, we have staged more than 100 productions to audiences of more than 150,000 and our work continues to grow year on year.

Bard in the Botanics has performed in conjunction with Perth International Festival of the Arts, Big in Falkirk, the Merchant City Festival, Cumbernauld Theatre, North Lanarkshire Youth Arts Festival, Gilmorehill G12, the West End Festival, the Byre Theatre and the macroberts arts centre, Stirling.
