THE OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATRE

This show is being performed in our enchanting Outdoor Amphitheatre. The Amphitheatre is general admission, so you can’t pre-book a specific seat or area.

Be prepared for the ever-changing weather conditions in Aotearoa. We recommend bringing along sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, mozzie spray, and a warm jacket just in case.

We provide small, thin cushions for extra comfort; however, you are welcome to bring your own! You can also bring a flat-base/no leg ‘festival chair’ like the one pictured below. You can find these chairs at places like Kmart, Bunnings and Mitre10. These are extra handy to have if you come to other events in our Amphitheatre, like the annual Shakespeare in the Park!
