A summer of outdoor theatre at Berkhamsted Castle

  Friday 19 June 2026

There’s a great summer ahead with outdoor theatre performed in the ruins of Berkhamsted Castle.

Saturday 27 June at 2pm & 7pm: Northanger Abbey
– an adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1799 novel – a thrilling Gothic tale of dark deeds… or a playful, heartwarming Regency romance? The Moving Parts Theatre Company reveals secrets, skeletons, and ancient mysteries lurking beneath the world of balls, bonnets and Bath society.

Saturday 11 July at 2pm & 7pm: Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night
– a medieval romp promising a touch of Men in Tights and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Nonsense Theatre brings the true wit and absurdity of Shakespeare’s beloved play with a medieval twist.

Tickets are now on sale via the Castle website:
