Britain's What's On Event Guide
Nymans’ Outdoor Theatre - A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Join us for this adaptation of William Shakespeare's much-loved story, set against the backdrop of Nymans romantic ruins. Bring a picnic and sit back and relax. Suitable for audiences of all ages.
Booking essential. Call 0344 249 1895
Friday 5 June 2026, Gates open 6pm, performance 7pm to 9pm
Adult ticket £23
Child under 16 ticket £14
Two Adults and two Children £64
The woods outside Athens are busy this night. Four young Athenian lovers are lost. Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy-folk, are quarrelling whilst a group of craftsmen (who also happen to be some not-so-very-talented actors) are meeting in secret to rehearse their play.
Too many characters and not enough actors will see Shakespeare's story of love, mistaken identity and magic brought to life in a comedic and potentially hat-astrophic production.
The event will be held on the Main Lawn, around a 10-minute walk from the entrance to Nymans.
This is an outdoor event so please dress for the weather. Seating isn't provided, so you may wish to bring camping chairs, blankets or cushions.
The event has level access.
Refreshments will be available for purchase in the interval. Picnics welcome. Toilet facilities (including accessible & Changing Places toilet) will be available at the site.
