Description
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is a stunning outdoor venue located in the heart of Regent’s Park, London. Since its founding in 1932, it has become one of the largest open-air theatres in the UK, seating over 1,300 guests. Known for its enchanting blend of theatre and nature, the theatre hosts a variety of performances—from Shakespearean classics to modern musicals—set against the beautiful backdrop of the park’s greenery, offering a truly immersive cultural experience.
The theatre’s 2025 season features an exciting range of shows including the UK premiere of the Broadway hit Shucked, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Dream Ballets: A Triple Bill, Noughts & Crosses, Brigadoon, and The Enormous Crocodile. Ticket prices start at around £15 for standard seats, with discounted rates for under-18s and special Monday performances offering tickets at various price levels (£15 to £35). Concessions are available when booking directly through the theatre, making it accessible for a wide audience.
Performances typically run from May through September, with gates opening 90 minutes before evening shows and 60 minutes before matinees. The open-air setting means weather can affect performances, and while tickets cannot be refunded in the event of cancellations, exchanges for future shows are offered. Visitors are advised to arrive early, as late arrivals may only be admitted during the interval. The theatre also offers dining options including picnic areas and a bar, ensuring audiences can relax and enjoy their evening comfortably in this magical outdoor setting.
