Join us in Brueton Park this summer for three unmissable open-air theatre shows in the heart of Solihull! Whether you love all the fun and fanfare of fantasy, the mischief and magic of Shakespearean comedy or the adorable adventures of Peter Rabbit, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

The Core Outdoor theatre season begins with The Sword in The Stone on Saturday 25 July. This fantastic family show is all about friendship and courage as Wart and his best friend Morgan travel to London on an adventure to make their dreams come true. Along the way, they’ll meet colourful characters who guide them through strange challenges and teach them lasting lessons about finding their way in the world.

Enjoy a summer evening of laughter and romance with As You Like It on Wednesday 12 August. One of Shakespeare’s most popular and enduring comedies, As You Like It follows four couples escaping into the mysterious Forest of Arden. Featuring banishments, disguises, mistaken identities and weddings, this timeless play is a celebration of freedom in nature, making it perfect for viewing in Brueton Park.

Finally, there’s fun for the whole family with The Tales of Peter Rabbit on Saturday 22 August. This enchanting adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best loved tales will charm kids and grown-ups alike as the adventures of Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin Bunny are brought to life on stage.

Gather up your friends and family, pack a picnic, and bring along your own seat or blanket to enjoy some fantastic theatre shows performed in a scenic setting this summer. Find out more and book below:
