Each year thousands of young people from primary, secondary and SEND schools across the country unite in the world’s largest youth Shakespeare festival.

The comprehensive Festival process culminates in exhilarating performance evenings; young people aged 8-18 playing Shakespeare in professional theatres, raising aspirations and unlocking the potential of students and teachers alike.

Registration for our 2025-26 Festival is now open. Find out more at www.shakespeareschools.org.
