Kilworth House, Country house hotel and outdoor theatre in North Kilworth, England.
Kilworth House is an Italianate country residence with Victorian elements set across 38 acres of landscaped grounds, housing both hotel rooms and an open-air theatre venue. The property blends accommodation facilities with a performance stage nestled within a natural wooded clearing.
The estate was built in 1891 for John Entwisle, High Sheriff of Leicestershire, and carries Grade II listed status. Over time it passed through several owners and evolved from a private residence into a modern hotel operation.
The woodland theatre stages professional musical performances throughout summer, drawing audiences from across the United Kingdom. These productions shape the character of the place and create lively outdoor evenings.
The hotel features multiple dining areas, garden accommodations, and four-poster suites with direct access to countryside walking paths in Leicestershire. Visitors can explore the surrounding area on foot using the natural routes across the estate.
The woodland theatre was established only in 2007 and uses a natural forest clearing as a stage for musical performances. This combination of theatre and natural landscape makes the experience distinctive for audiences, as trees and sky frame the spectacle.
