What follows is an attempt to reassemble the scenario of the Stratford-upon-Avon Pan's Anniversary as staged in the Bancroft Gardens in April 1905 by collating these sources:

1. (i) Jonson's text for the masque: as in David Bevington et al., eds, The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012), Vol. 5.

2. (ii) The printed programme for the event and the related correspondence of March 1905 between the Stratford-upon-Avon Shakespeare Club (per F. W. Evans) and William Barclay Squire and Ralph Vaughan Williams, as held in the Library and Records Office of the Shakespeare Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon. (Three of Vaughan Williams's letters from this correspondence are printed in Cobbe, Letters, pp. 46–9.)

3. (iii) The scrapbook of press-cuttings etc. for 1905 in the Library, Shakespeare Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon.

4. (iv) The (unpublished) music composed or arranged for the masque by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst in British Library Add. MSS 57909 and 71476–7. The numbering of the musical elements used below (I–XI) is as in Vaughan Williams's MS and in Kennedy, Catalogue, pp. 28–9. Kennedy also reprints Vaughan Williams's note on the music from the printed programme of the masque.

5. (v) John Graham, coll. and ed., Shakespearean Bidford Morris Dances (London: Curwen, 1907).

The Scene: Arcadia. The Stage (27.iv.’05) reported that the action centred on ‘a large platform’ specially built in the Bancroft Gardens, with behind it ‘tall budding poplars’ and ‘the shadow of the Memorial Theatre’. Other trees served as wings.
