It’s never too early to make plans, and with Knebworth House’s Early Bird discount it really makes sense. Save on Garden Theatre and Live Music event tickets bought in January for performances throughout summer 2025. Summer is the perfect time of year to experience an alfresco garden performance – an immersive, outdoor, dramatic experience under the stars. Roll out your blanket, indulge in a delicious picnic, crack open a bottle of fizz, and sit back to make a real evening of it! There will be hot and cold drinks, cakes, ice cream and a selection of snacks available from the Garden Terrace Tea Room for you to enjoy during the performances.
The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I
Treat you and the family to an evening of great theatre on the Sunken Lawn of Knebworth House. On Sunday 8th June The Three Inch Fools will present a largely historical, always hysterical, brand new Tudor comedie of ‘The Most Perilous Comedie of Elizabeth I’. Elizabethan theatre is flourishing. But will a brand-new Tudor musical romp, in which Good Queen Bess takes to the stage herself, be the making of this heroine or spell the beginning of her downfall? The stage is set for regicidal rivalries, devious dramatics, and plotting playwrights. Beset by misunderstandings and a script that…let’s just say…needs some work, this production promises to be largely historical, always hysterical. As the old saying goes…thy show must go-eth on!
Tickets available from £11 per child, £17 per adult. £50 for a family of 4. Performance starts at 7pm.

Twelfth Night
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men next summer, in their 21st year, for Shakespeare’s best-loved romantic comedy, Twelfth Night, on Sunday 3rd August.

With identical twins separated by shipwreck, a cross-dressing heroine and everyone in search of love, Twelfth Night is one of the funniest and most famous tangled love stories in literature.
Tickets available from £11 per child, £18 per adult. £55 for a family of 4. Performance starts at 7pm.
