Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
Seating Plan

The home of outdoor theatre in London, the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre has a prominent thrust stage layout with two levels, an Upper and a Lower section. These are split into smaller sections – Lower Right, Lower Centre, Lower Left, Upper Right, Upper Centre and Upper Left. Fully located outdoors, there are no obstructions to your views throughout this auditorium. However, the stage is slightly raised, so people sitting in Row A on the Lower Centre may need to look up a lot during the show.

Handrails are positioned throughout the auditorium to help you reach your seats, with a wider gangway separating the two levels. There is also a long handrail along the front of the Upper Centre area, which does not obstruct your view. The legroom at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre is comfortable across all areas, with views across the auditorium offering different vantage points of the stage. The seats are cushioned, fold-down plastic.

Rows K-T, which are in the Upper Section, are accessed via steep stone steps and are not suitable for anyone with limited mobility. There is a more comfortable incline to access Rows A-I on the lower tier. Seats located on the far left of the auditorium (from Row J upwards) are good for shade during a performance in the warmer days.

Tips from SeatPlan Members

• User rivmik (Upper Left 07) recommends this brilliant view, but to prepare for all weather in advance, as you can’t have umbrellas out during the performance
• User Muretmer said that Lower Centre A7 is a wonderful seat if you want to get up close to the action. Here you can see the details of the performance, and there is a lot of space for a comfortable visit
• Although there is a handrail in front of Upper Centre K2, user jackies20 said it made no difference to her view of the stage
• Seats slightly to the side in the lower section are great value - AlysDA96 in Lower Left F7 reports an excellent overall experience

Good value seats

Due to the amphitheatre nature of Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, there are no significantly obstructed views from any seats. Seats in the first few rows offer great value and totally immerse you in any show at this unique venue. For those on a tighter budget, look for seats at the rear of the venue towards the centre, including row P and Q, these offer a clear, if distant, view of the stage. Some seats in row O are sold at a reduced rate due to have a safety bar in your line of sight, if this can be overlooked these seats are great value compared to those surrounding them.

Premium seats

The best seats at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre are located in the central few rows of the front stalls block as you'll feel totally immersed in the action from these seats. For the best view from these seats, opt for those as close to the middle of the row. The rake is ample, so you'll enjoy an elevated, uninterrupted view of the stage.
