Throughout the summer (until 24 August this year) the Stamford Shakespeare Company presents an annual season of plays. Described by The Sunday Times as ‘One of the finest things to do this summer’ and The Stage as ‘One of England’s premier alfresco theatre venues’, it really is an experience not to be missed. The open-air theatre is situated in the grounds of historic Tolethorpe Hall, just two miles from Stamford, where each summer over 30,000 people experience the magic of a visit to this unique venue.
