Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
The Open Air Theatre in Regent's Park features a line up of several plays during its 16 week summer opening
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 out of 5
Having an open air theatre in one of the nicest parks in London is a real treat. It feels like you’re in the woods rather than in the middle of the city. Went to see The Enormous Crocodile with the family during half term and it was brilliant. Highly recommended attraction to visit.

Visiting the Open Air Theatre is a wonderful experience. The house seats are comfortable with good legroom, there are covered seats for dining, and the well-maintained facilities gave me a bit of a safari feeling. On the day of our visit, the bar was quite slow even though (or because of?) there were not many visitors, and the burgers, salads, and chips we had were all underwhelming. If you come to experience a good show, you won't be disappointed, but I would probably eat somewhere else beforehand.

Beautiful theatre, magical atmosphere, would recommend visiting at least once during the summer

Haven't been for a while so it was lovely to visit again and watch a great production of twelfth night on a clear, albeit a little bit chilly, summer night. The venue is wonderful and the sound of green parrots adds to the atmosphere. Getting back to the tube is a little harder after the show as the park gets closed down and you have to follow the roads out

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.
