The Festival Theatre is an open air venue set in the gardens of Hever Castle. Located in four open air theatre venues in the grounds: the Two Sisters’ Theatre, the Main Lawn Stage, the Loggia and Anne Boleyn’s Walk.
The Summer Festival presents a wide selection of shows with something to suit all ages and most tastes.
The stage located on the Two Sisters’ Lawn is covered, and the seating tiered, with the vast majority of seats also undercover, other locations are fully open air.
The audience
The audience is able to enter the grounds from 6.30pm for evening performances, where they may enjoy the beautiful Castle gardens and ambience by bringing a picnic, choosing to eat in the Guthrie Pavilion Restaurant or by simply wandering through the magnificent gardens. For matinee performances, the audience may remain in the gardens after the performance until the grounds are closed for the day, usually at 6pm.
