History

This esteemed out-of-doors theatre was established in 1932 in the Queen Mary’s Gardens section of the park. It has a capacity of 1256 on amphitheatre seating and won the prestigious London Theatre of the Year in The Stage Awards in 2017 and the Highly Commended Award for London Theatre of the Year in 2021.
