With the addition of a brand-new theatre space – ‘The Other Stage’ – in the festival tepee, there’s a definite summer festival vibe to this year’s event too. Topping the bill is a family-friendly performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and a dazzling production of The Great Gatsby. Both of these productions will take centre stage, beneath the stars, in Grosvenor Park’s glorious theatre. Topping the bill this year is a spellbinding, family-friendly performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and for the very first time, a heart-racing and dazzling production of The Great Gatsby. The Great Midsummer Spectacular features all of our favourite things – top-quality open-air performance alongside music, storytelling and comedy.
