The Open Air Theatre is a permanent venue completely surrounded by parkland. It is located inside Queen Mary's Gardens, part of the inner-circle of Regents Park.

The Open Air Theatre was opened in 1932 and recently rebuilt in 1999. The theatre is uncovered except for a multi-level auditorium which has a bar stretching it's entire length. The bar serves complete meals starting 1½ hours before performances and is open until midnight for refreshments.

Performances are held from late May until early in September. If bad weather forces a performance to not be completed, tickets can be exchanged for an upcoming performance.

Regent's Park Open Air Theatre Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Charming venue hosting a variety of productions through summer. Watched "Brigadoon" here, which was light hearted and fun. The staff are very courteous and manage the entry/ scanning/ etc efficiently. Toilet and bike parking facility available within the venue. Quite a few dining options but hot food has to be ordered and consumed well before the show. Would love to return (of course the weather is always a lottery!)

5 Star Rating Absolutely loved this venue, first time to see Noughts and Crosses. Great venue, Baker Street probably the best station. Beautiful theatre, with a bar, pizza ovens, restaurant. Great setting but there is no cover at all so go prepared for the weather conditions. We were so lucky with the weather as an hour prior to the start it had been pouring with rain. All the seats are pretty good to be honest. Will definitely go and see other productions there. Excellent customer service from staff too.

5 Star Rating We bought some last minute tickets (on TodayTix) to see "Shucked" at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and honestly, any seat will give you a good view of the stage. . It's a great musical (all about corn) that we originally saw on Broadway in New York a few years ago. It's funny, entertaining, and has you engaged from start to finish. We enjoyed this production just as much as we did on Broadway! This was our first time at the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and I was greatly impressed. The staff were great, and the price reasonable. In the venue itself, the seats are a little hard, and it can get a little chilly after the sun goes down. My suggestion...bring a little blanket. You can sit on it to make the seat more comfortable, and if you get cold you can wrap it around yourself. In general, I found the venue to be fully accessible (I have mobility issues), with disabled parking nearby. In my opinion, there venue is suitable for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues. I would suggest seats in row J for wheelchair users and for anyone who needs more legroom (though perhaps double check with the venue). It is an open air theatre, so make sure to check the weather and dress appropriately. Shucked is currently on until the 14th June 2025, and we'd highly recommend seeing it. Our seats were great, and they only cost £30 each for via Rush tickets on the app. It was a lovely way to spend the evening with my beau. 🌽😍🥰🌽

From Baker Street Station exit onto Baker Street and go to your right (north) until you can see Regent's Park ahead and to your right. Double back slightly to the pedestrian crossing and cross over to the park. Make your way to the foot bridge just inside the park, walk across and follow the path to your left on the other side keeping alongside the trees. When you get to the Inner Circle cross the road and continue along the path on far side. At the 'T' (just past the Park Cafe), go left and follow that path to the theatre entrance.
