The Temple Shakespeare Cup has returned for another year!

Please join us in Middle Temple Hall for a night of fun and Shakespeare. Middle Temple and The Inner Temple will each put on 1 hour of Shakespeare, with a winner declared by a panel of celebrity judges. Shakespeare himself put on performances in Middle Temple Hall, Twelfth Night being premiered there in 1602.

With two bars and two excellent performances, it will be the perfect opportunity to meet and connect with members of both Inns.

Please note that small individual picnics are available to pre-purchase up until 9am on Thursday 8 May. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. They will be available for pick-up between 5pm and 6pm on the day from the Garden Room and can be taken out to the Garden to enjoy.

NB: You will need to also book a ticket for the performance.
