About this event
There's nothing quite like theatre under a darkening summer sky. Set deep within the greenery of Regent's Park, this beloved open-air theatre stages ambitious productions of classic drama and musical theatre with the tree canopy as a natural backdrop. Arrive early to enjoy a picnic on the lawns or a glass of something from the bar, then take your seat as the performance begins and the park quietens around you. It's one of London's most atmospheric and uniquely seasonal cultural experiences.
Event highlights
- Professional productions staged in a natural woodland setting
- Picnic on the lawns before the performance begins
- On-site bar and barbecue open ahead of the show
- One of London's most atmospheric summer traditions
Getting there
The Open Air Theatre is inside Regent's Park, a short walk from Baker Street and Regent's Park Underground stations. Performances go ahead in most weather, so dress for the conditions and bring a layer for after sunset.
