Venue Information
Established in 1932, the multi-award-winning Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is one of the largest theatres in London (1,304 seats) and situated in the beautiful surroundings of a Royal Park. Passionate about producing popular, enriching and unexpected theatre that provides a lens into the here and now, the scale and ambition of our productions together with our magical outdoor setting, makes us unique in the capital’s cultural landscape. Every year we welcome over 150,000 people to our 20-week summer season.
