Festival 36 - Roaming Bards' Performances

Enjoy street performances of Shakespearean monologues, from our travelling Bards.

We will welcome several Bards across the Solihull Borough to perform a series of short monologues from a variety of Shakespeare plays. On 29 & 30 June, they will visit Solihull schools so students can enjoy a short performance, perhaps a monologue from Richard III in Chemistry or a snippet of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in assembly!

On Sat 1 July, catch the Bards performing at locations across the Solihull Borough including Balsall Common, Chelmsley Wood, Knowle, Meriden, Shirley, and more. On Sun 2 July, they will be roaming Solihull town centre, entertaining passers-by all the way from John Lewis to Malvern Park and everywhere in between!

  • Balsall Common
  • Berskwell
