Attila Theatre presents a day of pop-up scenes from some of the Bard's best works. We're teaming up with some of the brightest new theatre companies to bring a little theatrical magic to the beautiful Parkland Walk in North London.

Parkland Walk is London’s longest Nature Reserve. A former Victorian railway line, it is now a wonderful green corridor through North London. The Capital Ring path takes you through woodland, and banks of grassland which are host to bats and green woodpeckers– and on this occasion: pop-up Shakespeare.

The day will run from 1pm — 5pm, with 10 different scenes across 5 areas alternating hourly, so a nice stroll along the walk and back again will mean you'll get to see each scene. This event is family friendly so please bring your children! Please see website for further details.
