Garden Theatre Festival

Bath’s Garden Theatre Festival is the city’s only purpose-built open-air theatre event. Held annually at The Holburne Museum Gardens, it began in 2020 as a one-off event during lockdown and grew into the full-fledged festival we know today, officially launching in 2021. Since then, the festival has expanded significantly, becoming a popular and established part of Bath’s cultural calendar. With all performances produced in-house, the festival is now considered Bath’s official summer theatre experience.

Held in the beautiful gardens of the Holburne Museum, the festival promises three weeks of top-notch performances from our repertory company (previous works include last year’s Sherlock & Watson: A Murder in the Garden 2024), all set against the enchanting open-air stage. There’s something for everyone to enjoy, including Romeo & Juliet, Pride and Prejudice, and A Secret Garden.

At the Garden Theatre Festival, 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.
