“As Merry as the day is long…”

This summer between July 15th – August 8th, you are invited to step through the gates of Grosvenor Park into a world of fantasy, romance, heroics and beasts!

The park has been transformed into one of the most wonderful theatre settings you can imagine. The programme of open air theatre features Shakespeare’s much loved comedy Much Ado About Nothing and a new play, Hercules written for all ages 7+ and set to become a family classic!

Some of the country’s best directors and actors have been busy creating a brand new professional summer theatre company which we are in no doubt will achieve national acclaim for this wonderful new adventure in Chester. Our cast include some respected and well known names from stage and television, along with some incredibly talented young physical actors and musicians. Music is written especially for the two shows.

A new, unique (and very ecological!) new theatre space has been designed and built which is a combination of picnic spaces and (picnic) terrace seating.

You can eat and drink in both areas (there is a plenty of space on the wooden terraces to picnic), but with the picnic spaces you can bring your own deckchairs and blankets.

For the terraces you need to bring a cushion, or you can hire one from us!

There are 8 performances a week, including 2pm matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays and a tea time special on a Sunday at 5pm.

Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre is produced by Chester Performs on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester Council and is supported by Arts Council England.
