440 Theatre Presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Event information

Four Forty Theatre invite you into their outrageous take on Shakespeare’s most magical comedy. A Midsummer Night’s Dream follows runaway lovers, magical creatures, and a group of very determined actors who find themselves in over their heads. With quick character changes, playful invention, and a sparkle of silliness, Four Forty transform the classic into a joyful night of theatre for audiences of all ages.

Whether you’re a Shakespeare lover or brand new to his plays, this production brims with warmth, laughter, and unexpected surprises. It’s a summer dream brought vividly — and hilariously — to life.

Show time 7PM

Doors open at 6PM

Please bring your own low backed chairs and blankets. You are welcome to bring a picnic.

There is level access to the garden and limited disabled parking out the front of the building.

No dogs except assistance dogs. No smoking.

The performance will continue despite the great British summers attempts to ruin it! Umbrellas are not encouraged as they ruin sight lines but macks and raincoats are just as fetching! In the event of lightning that poses a threat to safety the event may be cancelled.

Parking: The museum has no parking of its own. Park at the Hensington Road carpark postcode OX20 1JH or there is limited free parking outside the museum after 6pm.
