During the last five years, The British have been the most frequent guests in Dubrovnik, and through the partnership of a number of Dubrovnik’s cultural and tourist institutions, and led by the City of Dubrovnik, the cultural program ˝British Week˝ was created in order to thank everyone who has already visited our city or who has yet to decide to come.

 

From June 27th to July 3rd a rich program has been prepared – exhibitions, performances, brilliant British movies in the Jadran summer cinema, a musical program, a double -decker bus at Pile, and other surprises.

 

The Mayor of Dubrovnik Andro Vlahušić will open ˝British Week˝ on Monday, June 27th in the atrium of the Monastery of St. Clare where there will be an exhibition called ˝Focusing on the British and Dubrovnik˝, as well as a traditional English breakfast.

 

A wealth of cultural events has been organized for ˝British Week˝, celebrating the rich culture of the United Kingdom, as well as present-day achievements of Britons who have left their mark in the world – from the 400th anniversary of the death the grandiose Shakespeare and the play Hamlet which will be performed in English during the ˝Midsummer Scene Festival˝ in the magical Fort Lawrence, to the review of British films to be shown in the Jadran summer cinema, and the photo exhibition by Bari Goddard called ˝Midsummer Scene / Night Dubrovnik˝.

 

The British and Dubrovnik are also linked through many legends, the most famous of which is that of Richard the Lionheart and his visit to Lokrum, to which the exhibition ˝Lokrum Legends – Richard the Lionheart + the Benedictines˝ is dedicated and which is scheduled to open on the mystical island of Lokrum on July 3rd, representing the highlight of ˝British Week˝.
