Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre Reviews

You can't go wrong a gem in the middle of regents park. Brilliant plays and shows to watch. Not open all year round.

Very entertaining fun experience. Luckily weather was fine. Might not be so nice in the rain.

One of the most magical places in England on a nice summer night.

Such a special place to experience theatre. Entrancing for adults and children alike

A must visit place in London!! I came to watch Shakespeare play "as you like it". What a marvelous modern version of Shakespeare's play! The outdoor theatre add a surprise element to the play.

superb productions and unique feeling to watch plays in such a wonderful place.

Amazing venue, nice food court outside but dont get caught in the rain

Amazing show. Great space. Excellent toilet facilities and plenty so you're not waiting ages. It could have been signposted a bit better though .

Fantastic venue if you are lucky with the weather. Jesus Christ Superstar production 2016 was awesome

Always a great experience, especially in the evenings as the sun sets during the performance.

Really lovely place to explore with your kids and loved ones

Outstanding production in amazing natural environment. This is an annual tradition. Dining here before the performance is also a highlight.

Worth the expensive tickets for an impressive, creative show (Little Shop of Horrors) with a great view.
Plenty of toilets so not too much queueing, and lovely green surroundings in the theatre and around it in the park.

Great venue, its a fairly small open air theatre which makes for an intimate experience, we saw comedian Jimmy Carr and although we were around the middle of the theatre it felt like we were right up front! The bar is nice, usual London prices, entry an exit is easy, loos were decent. Be warned it is open air so be prepared! The rain did make an appearance during the show we attended but it really wasn't a big deal and there was a stall selling ponchos if needed.

Fab show. The venue offers food and drinks, all staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Amazing setting! The best of British entertainment in the summer!

The performance was outstanding but the wine is expensive

The shows here are a bit hit and miss also the open air thing is tricky because if like me you end up going on the hottedt day of the year you want to kill yourself before the drama even begins...

It's always a treat to go to Regent's Park Open Air Theatre. Very friendly staff. Great views of the stage from all areas of seating. We'll staffed bar area preventing queues and easy access to complimentary water.

The stirring opening riff from JCS brought tears to my eyes! It was such a relief to be watching a live show and the concert version did not disappoint. Congratulations to all involved in staging and performing this iconic musical...stirring vocals and choreograpy. Thank you!!

We love the Open Air Theatre as long as it doesnt rain!

Best venue and productions are always fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyable!

A really lovely open air theater.
We had booked a picnic with wine before. The prepared basket was really nice, the food was typical english but the wine very good.
It is a very nice atmosphere and we would book it again. The theater itself is very nice and cozy, but the play (as you like it) did not please us so much.
Still worth a visit!

Incredible. What a venue. The sun set as the play went into its darker half, creating an amazing atmospheric tension. There's nothing that feels quite as magical as open air theatre on a warm summers night

An amazing atmosphere! Not a bad seat in the whole place. I've been 3 times over last few years, and it never disappoints.

A lovely place for outdoor theatre when 1) you can find it on time as Regents Park is pretty big! 2) you have the right kind of weather 3) you have a good seat 4) you have good company to hang out with before during & after! Not easy to get it all right at the same time - best in Summer when the days are longer!

Theatre production itself was great but ruined by the fact that pigeons sit on the poles above the back row. Lots of pigeon poo and difficult to concentrate when constantly trying to dodge it! Three of us got hit. Paid a lot for tickets so expect better.

All that would be needed are some plastic spikes on like at train stations. But duty manager didn't seem too interested in doing anything about it so will probably happen to others in future.

Shame because we would have loved it otherwise.

Beautiful place in London to spend an afternoon. Lovely cafe with a wide range of food

Such a magical experience. Highly recommended doesn't matter if it starts to rain the show continue s just take a poncho!

Have seen some spectacular musical productions here. Try to make a point of going with friends every summer. Good facilities and bar/cafe.

We saw Peter Pan and absolutely loved the atmosphere of the theatre and the show itself. This feels a lot more inclusive than West End shows which feel a bit stuffy. All ages and types of people feel comfortable here and it's an absolutely lovely setting in a great park. Highly recommend both the show and the venue!

Looking forward to Jesus Christ Superstar . Had best tickets, booked train and dinner in London and arrived at the theatre so excited. Band came on and rain came down and show called off. Please consider putting a shell over the stage and a non slip surface. It would not detract from any ambience and enable customers to not be at the risk of the weather. Sadly going home desperately disappointed at this waste of money and waste of an evening.

Jesus Christ Superstar was superb!!
So uplifting and life affirming.
Felt privileged to be part of the audience in the presence of incredible performances.
Thank you Regents Park Theatre.. and thank you all the fabulous cast!!!

Great London experience, providing the weather holds off the theatre is extremely atmospheric and the productions here are fantastic.
Ps go to the toilets, coolest urinals in London

Amazing and unique outdoor theater experience. Nothing can describe how lovely and intimate this is. Must experience for yourself.

Evita. Bloody good show, excellent venue and beautiful surroundings.

Always a great experience. We had the champagne hamper - a superb addition to the overall experience. Especially the choice of hot drink and ice cream in the interval.

One of my favourite theatres in London. Great location. Would recommend to visitors to London in summer to go to see anything. Usually put on excellent productions.

Fantastic theatre, easy to find and we'll sign posted. Comfortable seats and good view of the stage wherever you are sat.

Amazing experience. Specially when you can have a beer while watching the show.

amazing place. doors open at 6.15 is good to get here earlier for a drink, dinner or picnic before the show

Just watch a musical "7 brides for 7 brothers" Excellent

Lovely theatre spot, surrounded by trees. Seats are reasonably comfy as far as theatres go and lots of places for drinks, with seating nearby. Could do with another toilet block, queue was massive in the interval!

I've never been disappointed with any performance here. Evita was spectacular, Jesus Christ Superstar and Sound of Music also in recent years.

It's well worth a visit on a summers evening. Food and drink available are also good if a little pricey - but I try and visit every year.

Can't rate the 2nd half as we left at the interval. Baffling. Very disappointed.

I was able to get closer to nature and enjoy the cooling air of the natural wind instead of an air conditioner. The play was entertaining and creative in many ways, the actors was very convincing and it's a wonderful way to spend a day.

This open air theatre is simply magical! It's definitely one of London's unmissable summer experiences with twinkling fairy lights, a gorgeous park setting and fab set design. There are loads of toilets too, which is always a big plus for any theatre! There's a cafe serving soft drinks, cakes, coffee and tea, and a bar area (it's possible to order drinks in advance for the interval). I didn't eat here, but the restaurant area looked really lovely.

The open air theatre is excellent, the play Our Town is dull was dishwater.
We were not the only ones to leave at the interview, the story is slow and boring, a big miss

Theatre always depends on the production and this version of Evita is really good with lots of energy and some fantastic singing.
The Regents Park Open Air theatre is one of my regular summer trips. Over he years theu have improved the food and facilities. Still long queues for the ladies but better than it used to be.
Arrive ahead of opening time to be sure of getting a table to eat before the concert. Lovely place on a warm summers evening but can be miserable in the rain, it's open air after all.
In recent years I've seen several great musical productions here. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful experience even if a bit warm in the sun!

This is such a beautiful theatre space, but can be chilly so take a blanket!

Amazing experience, great views from every seat. Got very chilly on the evening so bring a blanket or be prepared to spend money to buy one. A fault meant that there were no hot drinks available, also big queues for refreshments during intermission; didn't seem very well organised.

A great production of EVITA, comfortable seating, fair priced drinks and friendly, helpful staff.
Clean toilets!

A truly great experience, magical in high summer as the sun sets and dusk turns to night, the performance takes on a surreal ethereal quality on which you will be carried away.

Lovely theatre .Do not eat at the Cafe outside the complex it is awful.

Fantastic little theatre. Brilliant atmosphere even the rain didnt ruin the night. Absolutely brilliant night watching Evita.

Lucky enough to have chosen a balmy evening when I booked 6 months ago, but it would be difficult to fault the experience even if it had been cold and damp.
Lovely to relax with a picnic in the garden before the show.
My only fault would be the indistinct vocals.
Will certainly look at what productions are on next year and hope for perfect weather again

Beautiful theatre. Revolving stage. Who doesn't love that? Greenery. Pretty.

Beautiful out door theatre with a lovely setting inside Regent's Park. Plenty of food and drink options.

To expensive for what they offer. Sorry but not trying again.

Great venue! All seats have good view, and they are proper seats, I was worried it might be benches or just big steps. Bar on site is pretty with fairylights and (obviously) lots of greenery. There is a little picnic area if you want to picnic before the show, not sure if you could bring your own alcohol in though

Saw the spacially- distanced version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Amazing. Production. Whole theatre geared up to combat COVID19. Excellent experience.

As long as it's not raining, this place is brilliant

This is the open air right in the middle of the London zoo

We went to see Dinosaur World Live for my son's birthday treat, and it was really amazing and exciting. The theatre itself is lovely, and well laid out. The food on offer is good quality. The loos are very clean and spacious. There are plenty and we never had to queue. The whole experience was really good. I'd definitely come again.

Excellent venue. Staff are helpful. Great atmosphere
