Join us for an enchanting evening as The Lord Chamberlain’s Men present Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” amidst the beautiful gardens of Knowsley Hall. This renowned touring company, known for its authentic Elizabethan performances, brings the timeless tragedy to life with an all-male cast, original costumes, music, and dance. As this event sells out quickly each year, we encourage you to book your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Guests are invited to bring their own chairs and picnic for a delightful summer evening. Enjoy the gripping tale of Hamlet as he returns home to Denmark, only to confront his father’s untimely death and his mother’s hasty remarriage to his uncle, who now claims the throne. Hamlet’s encounter with his father’s ghost propels him into a dark journey of vengeance and self-discovery, challenging the very essence of reality.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, The Lord Chamberlain’s Men have captivated audiences since 2004, both nationally and internationally. Don’t miss this authentic performance under the open sky, filled with the drama and emotion of one of Shakespeare’s greatest works.
