The Regent’s Park has always been ‘the Entertainment Park’: in addition to the bandstands, it contains the Open Air Theatre, the Royal Academy of Music, the English Folk Dance and Song Society and the Frieze Art Fair – all of them world-class organisations. So why not add a world-class music festival?

In 2017, after nearly 20 years of silence on the bandstand, the Regent’s Park Music Festival was born ‒ with one concert. In 2019, it was registered as a charity. Six years later, the 2023 season includes concerts on two bandstands, running until 17 September. For the first time in many years, we welcome opera back to the Nannies’ Lawn: La Bohème and The Barber of Seville. In August our wonderful St John’s Lodge (‘secret’) garden will be the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (12 August) and a ‘Magical Musical Evening’ (13 August).

Here is the programme for the summer events:
