You are here: Services & Care > Theatre in the Park

We offer a unique opportunity to enjoy live theatre and music in the open air. Set within 14 acres of beautiful gardens, it is the only amphitheatre in the county that is purpose built to offer total access to able-bodied and disabled people both as audience and performers.

 

The theatre is run entirely by volunteers and profits from ticket sales, raffles and refreshments are donated to the Strode Park Foundation for Disabled People, an independent voluntary organisation and registered charity no 227794.

 

This is a no smoking venue

 

No glassware is to be brought to the venue. Please make sure that your refreshments are in plastic containers.
