    Enjoy the drama of Drum Castle
    One of Shakespeare’s best-loved works gets an airing in the dramatic setting of Drum Castle, Aberdeenshire on the evening of Tuesday 17 June.
    The Merry Wives of Windsor will be performed by open-air theatre specialists, Illyria. The play deals with those fundamental themes of love, jealousy and revenge.

    Jackie Fisher, Custodian at the castle, said:

    “Open air theatre is a fantastic experience at Drum, where the castle provides just as much drama as the content of the play. We hope visitors will get a real sense of the medieval at this performance, which will really bring the tale to life.”

    Tickets cost £10 for adults and £6 for children. To book, please call 0844 493 2167.
