‘An extraordinary theatre experience where history and entertainment come alive under the stars.’
(Audience Member, May 2024)
We can’t wait to be back in our stunning theatre, re-built in 2024. Opening on Sat 12 APRIL with ABBA ARRIVAL, for our extended 2025 season of performances.
Our re-built theatre has… One continuous roof, every seat is undercover. The roof section over the auditorium is transparent so you will be able to enjoy the sun or stars above, as you watch The Stars on stage! We can close our walls. Great for our events in the Autumn. The walls are clear so you will still feel you are in the beautiful garden just with protection from the weather.
The Muddy Awards 2025 are open!
The Muddy Stilettos Awards are the most coveted awards for independent lifestyle businesses in the UK, running across 35 counties and totally FREE to enter from start to finish.
We would greatly appreciate if you could Nominate us – The Festival Theatre at Hever Castle in the category for the Best Arts, Culture & Theatre.
