Arden Fair Midway
The 113th Arden Fair was a Big Success!
The weather was beautiful, the crowds were great!
Thank you to everyone that made the 2021 Arden Fair possible. Special thanks to the Army of volunteers that worked setting up the Fair, worked throughout the day of the Fair, and helped break down the day after the Fair.
A big shout out to the folks at the Brandywine YMCA Hanby Outdoor Center for providing us with offsite parking, thank you!!
— Shakespeare Gild —
We’ve been a long time away from the boards, and we know that the community has missed our annual production of a Shakespearean play. Our next full production will be As You Like It, in June of 2022 (postponed from June of 2020.) However, don’t despair, you can get your Arden Shakespeare fix when we perform “Shakespeare’s Greatest Hits” at the Field Theater, the evenings of Friday and Saturday, September 17th and 18th at 7:30 with a matinee on Sunday, September 19th at 2:00. Many veterans of the Arden Shakespeare Gild will perform scenes and monologues from Will’s plays and sonnets.
Tickets at the door will be a $5.00 suggested donation and will include refreshments. (The bad weather location is projected to be the Buzz Ware Center.)

The Arden Gild Hall is located just north of Wilmington, Delaware in the utopian Arts and Crafts, Single-Tax, Garden-City community of Arden, Delaware.
The Arden Club, Inc. is the cultural umbrella group for many Gilds in the three Ardens: The Village of Arden, Ardentown, and Ardencroft, and the regional community. Most activities take place in Gild Hall, which dates back to 1850 when it was used as a barn for the Grubb family farm. It was substantially renovated in 1910 as the Gild Hall and has served as the center for dinners, concerts, theatrical performances and community gatherings. The Gild Hall is available on a limited basis for private parties, weddings, and meetings. The grassy amphitheater of the Moonlight Theater sits to one side of Gild Hall, and the Swim Gild’s swimming pool sits behind Gild Hall.
The Arden Club, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization open to all.
