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.

Regent's Park Open Air Theatre Reviews
Rated out of 5
I saw 'Fiddler on the Roof' here.
It was a Greek experience. The stage was specifically made for this play and it was immersive.
It's literally an open air theatre where the play is performed outdoors and shaped like a Greek theatre. We were very lucky in fact because it was a warm sunny day and there was no rain.
The play was wonderful, the acting, the story, the set, the band, everything.
There is a bar, and a restaurant.
There is even little park where you can sit and eat like a small picnic.
Overall, I had a great time. I recommend.

Such a nice place, really well done sets as well, it was a very hot day when we went to be prepared due the right weather.
I love that they allow you to bring your own drinks to the outside bit as well, I did bit some drinks to take inside as well.

Last of the season. FOTR was wonderful. They were out of items at the cafe, very green of them to finish out stock. Restrooms could have used a tidying.

This was our third time visiting the theatre. Previously Evita and Joseph...... Unfortunately, on this occasion, rain stopped "play." Even the Fiddler on the roof was soaked. Cast tried to play on, but rain was too intense. Gutted for the cast, staff, and audience

How to get to Regent's Park Open Air Theatre by Tube
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.
