Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Open-air theatre in Northstead Manor Gardens, Scarborough, England.
The Scarborough Open Air Theatre spans across a natural landscape with a stage facing an 8,000-seat amphitheater overlooking a lake within Northstead Manor Gardens.
Built in 1932, the theater underwent a significant £3.5 million renovation in 2010, when Queen Elizabeth II presided over its reopening ceremony.
The theatre presents a program of musical performances, opera productions, and community events throughout the warmer months of the year.
The venue offers online ticket purchases, accessible seating options, and maintains regular operations from spring through early autumn with performances scheduled in advance.
The theater increased its capacity from 6,500 to 8,000 in 2017 by covering the lake area, making it the largest outdoor theater in Europe.
