   Oh, what a treat this place is!! I loved every minute of my first visit there and I’m sure I’ll be back for more. Very well organized. The sound was fantastic (and I am picky about it). The selection of food and drinks is great. The area itself is magnificent!! The facilities are well-maintained and clean. What a wonderful night I had at your beautiful venue and I certainly shall return for more

   Charming venue hosting a variety of productions through summer. Watched "Brigadoon" here, which was light hearted and fun. The staff are very courteous and manage the entry/ scanning/ etc efficiently. Toilet and bike parking facility available within the venue. Quite a few dining options but hot food has to be ordered and consumed well before the show. Would love to return (of course the weather is always a lottery!)

   The theatre is about a 10-minute walk from either Baker Street Station or Regent’s Park Station. At the moment, York Bridge is shut, so the most direct route is closed. This means you’ll need to take a longer, more scenic diversion that passes over a bridge across the water. On arrival, there’s a bag check at the entrance. The ground level has a spacious area for food and drinks, along with a covered, elevated dining section with seating. Both areas are pleasant, though—as expected—drinks come with the usual markup. We tried the pizzas, which were disappointing, with far too much cheese and generally below average. Being an open-air venue, it’s worth remembering that it can get chilly in the evening. Our show finished around 10 pm, and with temperatures dropping to about 15°C, many people in shorts looked quite uncomfortable. Bringing a light jacket or blanket is definitely advisable. The main downside of the venue was the toilets. During the interval, the queues were extremely long, with clearly inadequate facilities for the size of the audience. There was only one unisex accessible toilet, plus men’s and women’s toilets, and at one point women were being directed through the men’s facilities. After the show, queues for the men’s toilets were again very significant. Exiting the venue was also a bit confusing. At the end of the performance, everyone was directed out through a different exit. If you’re unfamiliar with the area, this could leave you disoriented—especially since York Bridge, the most direct route, is still shut. Overall, it’s a lovely summer theatre experience with a great atmosphere, but be prepared for the evening chill, limited toilet facilities, and a slightly confusing journey home.

   I’ve seen 2 shows here and they were both incredible! It’s such an experience. There’s lovely food before hand so arrive early! We had a fair bit of rain the first time (see the video) but was able to get through the performance with a few brief pauses. The show was still INCREDIBLE and we were able to get through it. The second time we had lovely weather. We will be back again this year and I can’t wait.

   Absolutely loved this venue, first time to see Noughts and Crosses. Great venue, Baker Street probably the best station. Beautiful theatre, with a bar, pizza ovens, restaurant. Great setting but there is no cover at all so go prepared for the weather conditions. We were so lucky with the weather as an hour prior to the start it had been pouring with rain. All the seats are pretty good to be honest. Will definitely go and see other productions there. Excellent customer service from staff too.

   Saw 101 Dalmatians here and it was delightful. The theatre is actually much bigger than we thought, sitting at the back you can’t see the facial expressions of the actors and you feel a bit far away from the show. Watching from the front is a totally different experience and well worth the money.

   We came to see 101 Dalmatian’s. We were pleasantly surprised by the venue, as you would have thought there would be a lot of background noise but none were present. Our seats were in row p and they provided a fantastic view of the performance. It was a lovely event and well executed. There is a bar, a pizza place and a burger place- I did not try these but did see a lot of people enter with drinks to the performance. All in all, a good experience for all and I would recommend. The cast were also great!

   Was highly impressed by the wide range of vegetarian / vegan and healthy food options and outlets at this theatre. More than I’ve seen at any other venue in central London. Wonderful atmosphere. Sound quality was good despite the rain, and the performance did not have to be delayed. The experience was very well run from start to finish. The queues for the bar etc were very long. Additionally, I felt that they could have placed more signposts just outside the theatre as it was quite hard to navigate the inner circle of the park being unfamiliar with the area, so I struggled to find the tube station / main road and this was very poorly lit being late and dark. But this is my only criticism and otherwise my experience inside the venue was fantastic.

   Brilliant venue in an outdoor area, hidden by the trees - I’d recommend bringing a blanket or extra layers for when it gets colder, as it helped us! We went to watch Legally Blonde and it didn’t disappoint! The stage setting there was brilliant and the entire cast was funny, inclusive, and full of talent - would definitely recommend going to see it, you won’t be disappointed! The only thing is that the queue for the bar was extremely long meaning the show was delayed and people kept coming in and out so we kept having to stand to let people in which was slightly annoying - maybe they could have a cut off time to make sure it flows nicely. Other than that the whole atmosphere and experience was amazing - lovely food and friendly staff
