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.

This theatre is in the middle of Regent's Park. As the name suggests it is open air, so depending on where you sit and the weather there may be sun, shade from trees or rain. There are refreshments and souvenir stalls within the site along with a picnic area before you go to your seat.

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.

My partner & I came last night to watch ‘The Secret Garden’ and what a great experience it was - watching a play while the sun sets and birds are flying by is absolutely wonderful. We really did enjoy it. It does get cooler as the night goes so do bring an extra jumper or blanket. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

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.
