The Merry Wives of Windsor at Cheltenham Lido
Saturday 19 July 2025
llyria brings Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet to life in the beautiful outdoor setting of Cheltenham Lido. This fast-paced, polished, and beautifully spoken production uses only the First Folio text, the most authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s plays. First performed by Illyria over two decades ago to worldwide acclaim, this powerful tale of love and tragedy returns for a third time — passionate, poetic, and utterly gripping.
The performance runs for approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, including a 20-minute interval, and is suitable for all ages, making it a perfect evening for the whole family. Guests are encouraged to bring foldaway chairs or a rug, dress appropriately for the weather, and pack a picnic to enjoy during the show.
Please note that only assistance dogs are permitted, and the venue is fully wheelchair accessible.
Don’t miss this enchanting outdoor theatre experience in the heart of Cheltenham.
