Concerts, Festivals & Outdoor Theatre

Over the years Ragley has been the outdoor stage for a huge collection of performers, ranging from Tom Jones, Il Divo and Michael Ball to Status Quo, The Sugababes, and Jools Holland. Ragley has also welcomed large-scale theatre productions of Much Ado about Nothing, Alice Through The Looking Glass and The Importance of Being Earnest.

During the summer, Ragley is a crowd favourite for picnic style concert events: a perfect opportunity to enjoy an evening in the summer sun, with a glass of prosecco in hand, unwinding by the lakeside, whilst you listen to your favourite musical genre.

Located within 9 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of William Shakespeare, many of the great playwright’s works have been performed and brought to life within the parkland of Ragley Hall. From the whimsical comedy of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to the tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet, the open-air theatrical performances hosted at Ragley have given audiences the opportunity to leave the confines of a theatre and let their imaginations run wild in the picturesque setting.

For outdoor events, Ragley holds a premises license for an audience capacity of 9,999 guests, however organisers regularly work with Stratford District Council to gain their own license with higher capacities for the delivery of events.
