The Bard in the Botanics festival is the biggest celebration of the works of Shakespeare in Scotland and it has been held in Glasgow every year since 2001. It joins the list of destinations which present Shakespeare’s plays in an outdoor setting on a festival basis. Bard in the Botanics aims to bring imaginative and accessible quality productions of Shakespeare to the people of Scotland and beyond during the summer months. The company also offers acting and performance classes focusing on the works of the Bard, for both adults and young people. Previous productions include such Shakespearian favourites as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Othello, Hamlet and King Lear.
Bard in the Botanics performances are held in the main Botanic Gardens in Glasgow and the gardens are easily accessible by bus from several locations around Glasgow. The nearest Underground stop for the Botanic Gardens is Hillhead Station.
