Pendley Open Air Shakespeare Festival, Annual Shakespeare theatre festival in Tring, England.
The festival features multiple outdoor stages at Pendley Manor, including the Garden Stage and Rose Garden, creating different settings for performances.
Established in 1949 by BBC sports commentator Dorian Williams, the festival began with a production of King Henry VIII at his family estate.
Each season forms a new company of performers who present multiple Shakespeare plays throughout August, maintaining the tradition of outdoor classical theatre.
