Venues

The USQ Shakespeare in the Park Festival is held at the University of Southern Queensland's picturesque Toowoomba campus, with the mainstage nestled amongst the trees on the front oval and taking advantage of several other venues for the program of events.

The mainstage is open-air and designed for an informal theatre experience with the option to sit or picnic.

Bring your picnic blankets and cushions, claim your spot and settle back with glass in hand and enjoy the performance.

Gates open an hour prior to the start of the performance. We recommend you arrive early; choose your patch of grass and setup your picnic just in time to watch the sun disappear behind the trees.

Please remember, this is an outdoor event, so please don't forget to bring a jumper just in case it gets cool and an umbrella or poncho in case of drizzly weather.

The site is licensed for BYO alcohol and there will be a small range of on-site vendors selling hot and cold drinks (not alcohol) and snacks from 5.30pm each night.

Please note:  In the case of inclement weather, the decision to postpone a performance is not made until 6.30pm each night. In the event of a performance being cancelled, tickets become valid for subsequent nights. If however, you are unable to attend a subsequent performance, you will be able to obtain a refund once the season concludes.
