As The Pendley Shakespeare Festival draws to a close this weekend, I'm reminded of the incredible times I spent there.

I was lucky enough to perform 5 plays across 3 festivals from 2011-13 and made many cherished memories, while learning a great deal about acting (not just from the experience but from the seasoned professionals I worked with) performing Shakespeare and also discovered my love of outdoor theatre.
It's such a brilliant and well loved festival run by a passionate and dedicated team lead by Sarah Branston the Artistic Director.
