Easter Weekend – Fun for all the Family
Friday 2nd – Monday 5th April 2010
The Castle will be open for a fun packed Easter Weekend, Fri 2nd – Mon 5th April. Visitors can explore the beautiful gardens in Spring whilst the children embark upon an Easter Egg Hunt. There will also be crafts, face painting and colouring for everyone to enjoy - all included within the global ticket price. In addition in the Great Hall there will be a delicious home-made cake stall and tombola, the proceeds from which will go to the Castle’s chosen charity for 2010, Cotswold Care Hospice.
Edward II by Christopher Marlowe performed by the Rococo Players
Friday 9th & Saturday 10th April 2010
The Rococo Players, one of Gloucestershire’s strongest theatre groups, assemble a stellar cast to perform Marlowe’s masterpiece in three unique and historically relevant venues.
On the 9th & 10th of April 2010 they will be bringing their production to Berkeley Castle's Great Hall, an intimate and highly atmospheric setting for what is a controversial play with a devastatingly gruesome climax – and only feet away from the place of Edward's imprisonment and murder in 1327.
Tickets are available from the
Rococo Player's website or by calling 07518 574711 and cost £20 or £17 for students.
