Running from Friday 21st July to Saturday 5th August, the festival will see the Holburne Museum’s garden transformed into an outdoor theatre, seating four-hundred guests.
Along with a selection of performers from last year’s event, there are new shows in the programme which will provide something for the whole family, including children’s theatre to cabaret.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a drink as the sun sets, thanks to the festival’s garden bar.
Launching back in 2020 as a single night of theatre during lockdown, The Garden Theatre Festival officially began in 2021 and is Bath’s only purpose-built open-air theatre festival.
Attendees bring their own blankets, cushions, camping chairs and packed picnic and can discover some of the best outdoor theatre that the UK has to offer.
Returning this year are fan-favourites The Three Inch Fools and Bath’s very own Calf 2 Cow, as well as new shows from Impromtu Shakespeare, Paulus – The Cabaret Geek, Heartbreak Productions, Tethered Wits Theatre Company, and Something Underground Theatre Company.
Matthew Emeny, the festival’s Artistic Director, said: “We return in 2023 with a cracking programme of theatre that we know our audiences will love.
“This year you as our guests will enter a freshly designed theatre, which is sealed off from the rest of the world, allowing you a truly unique experience.
“I look forward to welcoming everyone to our beautiful festival again this year – Here’s to a very exciting summer of theatre!
“See you for another summer of fun in the magical gardens of the Holburne Museum at the Garden Theatre Festival!”
Tickets for the various events, starting at £12 for a child (under 16) and £16.50 for an adult, are available here.
