HARTLEBURY Castle will set the stage for one of Shakespeare's most popular plays.

The castle welcomes back Heartbreak Productions for a performance of Love's Labour's Lost at 7.30pm on Friday, June 12.

Jacqui Watson, vice-chairman of the Hartlebury Castle Preservation Trust, said: "This is our first Shakespeare at the castle event, since becoming owners in March and I can honestly say it’s probably the nicest battle the castle has ever been part of. It is lovely to be hosting another performance by Heartbreak Productions.

"Hartlebury Castle is a stunning backdrop for outdoor theatre and we are really looking forward to what promises to be a wonderful evening.”

Tickets cost £14 for adults and £7.50 for concessions.

People can also reserve a gazebo pitch before the day for £5.
