Bring your own food, drink, small table and lawn chairs and have a relaxing picnic before the show. Stroll the grounds prior to the show bell, chat with friends. Nothing better in the Berkshires!

A great venue for music, and not just classical. For the full experience get lawn tickets and bring a picnic on a blanket. If the night is not sold out, you may be able to sneak up once it starts.

Lawn tickets are the best unless it rains. If you want to get closer you can sit in the benches behind the last row of reserved seats in the shed. They"re free for anyone who wants them.

Perfect place for a concert. Get there a couple hours before show time. Bring everything if you're on the lawn. Wine. Food. Beer. Chairs. Cards. And don't forget bug spray and a flashlight.

Walk around before and during the performances and enjoy it all! Bring Food and Drink while enjoying from the lawn. Shed seat are nice if you like being up close. Big screens for the lawn.

Lawn tickets are great fun - the 1812 overture every summer is great and they set off cannons and fireworks over the stockbridge bowl for it

The lawn fills up before 7pm, so get here right after gates open at 5:30pm to claim a good picnic spot! People go all out--folding tables, candles, flowers. Be prepared. Read more

Summer home of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. Extremely kid friendly. Bring your own foldable chairs unless you enjoy sitting on the grass and having little crawlies gnaw at you ;)

Arrive early and don't be afraid to bring a table, candelabra and/or a floral centerpiece. You will NOT be the only one.

Parking can be a pain, so get here early. Pack a blanket and wine, it's a perfect afternoon.

If its your first time on the law, grab a spot under a tree for the shade. Bring lots of snacks and drinks, because everyone else does and it will make you hungry!

sit on the lawn, you can eat & drink and it often sounds better ;) note the outdoor video screens can only be seen after dark.

Bring food but leave room for ice cream. Soco ice cream is the best.

Come early and enjoy a walk on the grounds. See if you can find the sundial hidden away in a secret garden.

They won't let you take coffee into the Shed, so don't get it right before the show because it will be too hot to drink and then you're out of luck. Read more
