Open Air Theatre
 | The theatre is in the heart of Regents Park. Once inside all the trees, bushes and trellises are decorated with fairy lights adding to the wonderful experience of the evening . There is a huge open grass area where you can enjoy a picnic and have some drinks from the West Ends longest bar, gone are the days of queuing for a drink at the theatre. Before evening shows the theatre opens 90minutess before the show so you can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the summer evening. The auditorium itself seats over 1.000 people and is completely uncovered, giving views to surrounding trees and nature. Obviously the UK summers are renowned for rain, but the show must go on as they say. On average though 94% of performances go ahead as planned, shows sometimes have to stop and re-start only as a last resort are they cancelled. |
