Celebrate with Bath Festivals!

We are always here to mark the biggest intellectual milestones – from the birthdays of Shakespeare and Germaine Greer to the anniversary of the publication of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own.

Celebrate the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth with Blissful Tales from Shakespeare with Salon: Collective. This wonderful theatre company (patron: Miriam Margoyles) explores Shakespeare’s sonnets expressing the highs and lows of love.

Saturday 1 March, 4.30pm, Guildhall, £7.50. Book Tickets
