Set in a lush, dreamlike Italy, the film brings the Bard’s tale of tangled love, magical interference, and theatrical misadventure vividly to life. With its glittering visuals, star-studded cast, and timeless story, this is Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it before.

Extras
Before the film begins, sip on a Fairy Elixir – our shimmering magical mocktail inspired by the enchanted forest – and channel your inner Titania or Oberon with our flower crown-making station, where you can craft your own midsummer masterpiece to wear during the screening.
We’re embracing the dreamlike spirit of the film, so feel free to dress in woodland chic, fairy wings, or Grecian gowns – the more whimsical, the better!
Please note: The Castle Keep can get quite chilly, even on summer nights – we recommend warm layers, cosy cloaks, or a fairy companion to cuddle up with.
