The gardens within Arundel Castle will be transformed into a vibrant open-air theatre on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th August for a special performance of Shakespeare’s uproarious comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Set in the castle’s Earl’s Garden with the captivating backdrop of Oberon’s Palace and Arundel Cathedral, this unique production, presented by the renowned Illyria1, forms part of a memorable opening to the Arundel Festival of the Arts - one of the region’s most anticipated cultural celebrations.

Expect a night filled with laughter as the ever-scheming Falstaff, strapped for cash, attempts to woo the wives of two wealthy merchants. Little does he know, these women are best friends – and after receiving identical love letters from Falstaff, they hatch a plan to teach him a lesson he won’t forget. With the help of their husbands and friends, the merry wives lure the hapless knight to a haunted forest where he’ll face the consequences of his wrongdoings.
