Tickets for the musical events during the third week of the Festival can be obtained for just £12 or £10, concessions again being available. As an added bonus, you can get one half price ticket for any third week performance when purchased together with a ticket to The Taming of the Shrew.

Forbury's RestaurantAs in previous years, we are also pleased to offer a special pre-show dinner deal with Forbury's Restaurant, just a two minute walk from the Abbey Ruins. A two-course meal can be booked at the same time as a Festival ticket at an additional cost of only £13.95 per person. Seating for the dinner is between 6pm and 6.45pm, and free, secure parking is also available.
