About

The Garden Theatre Festival is returning to Bath for its sixth year!

Immerse yourself in the worlds of Oscar Wilde, Jane Austen, and more as the in-house repertory company presents three outstanding productions: The Importance of Being Earnest, Sense & Sensibility, and The Big Bad Wolf. 

Enjoy witty storytelling, laugh-out-loud comedy, and plenty of live music. Picture yourself sipping a refreshing drink under a warm sunset, all while enjoying the relaxed atmosphere at Bath's very own open-air theatre festival.

Starting on 2 July, this year's festival will once again take place in the stunning gardens of The Holburne Museum, located on Great Pulteney Street in Bath. The garden will be transformed into a charming outdoor theatre with covered seating, deck chairs, and a fantastic garden bar.

You can get an early taste of this year's festival at a pop-up performance of 'King Arthur and the Holy Fail' on 5 June.

Seating is prioritised for deck chair bookings. Deck chair hire is charged at £4.50 each. 

You can bring your own blankets, cushions, and camping chairs, or hire a deck chair for the full experience. Enjoy a drink from the bar, indulge with a pre-show meal at the Holburne Restaurant, and take in the best of UK outdoor theatre.
