Shakespeare at Half House Farm

Set amidst 16 acres of open grassland, woodland and lakes in Three Oaks, Half House Farm is Bowler Crab’s home venue. This year the farm will host Twelfth Night on Saturday 14th June, Sunday 6th July, and Saturday 9th August.

The Sixteenth Century Yeoman farmhouse, built in 1575, just eleven years after Shakespeare’s birth, provides a fitting historical backdrop.

With 18 productions already performed here, Half House Farm is where it all began in 2013 and continues to be a cornerstone of the Bowler Crab experience. Audiences at Half House Farm enjoy Shakespeare in a setting unlike any other, surrounded by the beauty of the countryside with the rustic charm of a 16th-century farmhouse as the backdrop to the stage.
