Walk the Bard

Step back in time and experience Shakespeare like never before at the historic Middle Temple. This summer, the renowned London legal chambers, established in the 1300s, will host ‘Walk the Bard’, an exclusive immersive promenade theatre experience.

The production takes place in the stunning Elm Court Garden, located in the heart of the Middle Temple from August 29^th to 31^st  and brings together six curated scenes from Shakespeare’s most treasured plays, set across the decades, all exploring the theme of love and its constancy.

The audience will partake in an audio immersive experience, from stage whispers to chirping Tuscan crickets, delivered via individual headsets whilst moving through the grounds guided by a mischievous Elizabethan fool -reimagined with a modern twist - accompanied by his troupe of musicians. 

With five daily performances with starts at 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 and 2000, ‘Walk the Bard’ offers a rare opportunity to experience theatre in one of London’s most prestigious and exclusive locations.

Tickets, priced at £39.50, will also include a welcome glass of sparkling wine, beer or soft drink in Fountain Court and an exclusive tour (starts at 1315, 1515, 1715 and 1915), guided by Middle Temple's Master Treasurer KC, of the iconic Great Hall, with its famous 16^th century double hammer beam roof, where Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night was first performed for Queen Elizabeth I.
