Brighton Open Air Theatre

About

The Brighton Open Air Theatre will re-open on July 25th.

Due to the recent Covid-19 epidemic, we advise you to contact them directly for their operating procedures before visiting.

Since its opening in 2015 Brighton Open Air Theatre has gone from strength to strength and is now a well-established and much-loved entertainment destination in the city. It offers a unique and intimate (425 capacity) space in the great outdoors to enjoy live entertainment throughout the summer months of the year.

The fifth action packed open-air season at the theatre in Dyke Road Park runs from Wednesday 1st May to Sunday 29th September 2019. With 80 companies showcasing over 140 performances, this is the theatre’s biggest and most diverse season to date, including drama, comedy, circus, cabaret, music, dance, family shows, films, wrestling, pop bingo for dogs and even a charity sleep out.

BOAT has been consistently being awarded 5 stars on Trip Advisor and Facebook since its opening 5 years ago. In 2018 the theatre was awarded ‘Best Venue’ by Muddy Stilettoes and nominated as ‘Best Family Venue’ by the Fantastic for Families campaign.

Brighton Open Air Theatre was the vision of local playwright Adrian Bunting, who died in 2013 and left his vision to a group of friends. This is his legacy for the city he loved. “Everything’s better outdoors. Join us under the stars.”
