and for theatre in the open air on summer evenings ...
set in the heart of London's Regent's Park is the The Open Air Theatre with one of the largest auditoria in the capital - it is the oldest, professional, permanent outdoor theatre in Britain, where, from May to September each year, It offers a range of theatre, music, comedy and film events, and to quote from its website 'the wonderfully unpredictable nature of outdoor theatre makes each visit here extraordinary and thrilling'.
in Cornwall there's a unique summer theatre by the sea the open-air amphitheatre,
The Minack Theatre, perched on the edge of a cliff above the Atlantic Ocean in Cornwall, is simply stunning. If you plan to be in west Cornwall during the summer, you really should go and enjoy a magical performance from a full programme of drama, musicals and opera, together with music, comedy and story-telling.
and don't forget summer evenings can get chilly as the sun sets, so best to take a wrap in your bag for extra lightweight warmth.
