Nyborg Voldspil

Nyborg Voldspil is an outdoor theater set within natural grounds surrounded by tall elm trees and designed to seat about 1,300 spectators. The space integrates the wooded setting into its design, using the trees and landscape as part of the performance environment.

The theater was founded in 1939, making it Denmark's oldest outdoor theater with a continuous tradition of summer performances. This long history established it as a pioneering venue for theatrical performances in natural settings across the country.

The space serves as a gathering point where amateur performers share their craft with audiences during the warm months. Visitors experience theater created by local volunteers who maintain professional production standards through their dedication.

The location is easily accessible and offers seating on grounds designed for outdoor viewing during performances. Visitors should dress appropriately for outdoor theater as weather conditions can change, and the space feels more comfortable when prepared for outdoor sitting.

The venue sits adjacent to a moat where swans and ducks inhabit the water, creating a living natural backdrop during performances. This proximity to wildlife adds an unexpected layer to the theater experience, as the movements and sounds of the birds become part of the outdoor show.
