The Barn Theatre

For our guests who have a flair for the theatrical or simply enjoy a captivating evening of entertainment, we wholeheartedly recommend the Barn Theatre in Cirencester. Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, this boutique venue has grown to become one of the UK’s most exciting professional theatres.

Having personally visited the Barn Theatre several times, we can attest to the sheer brilliance of the productions and the warm, intimate ambiance of the venue. Every performance feels exclusive, giving you an immersive experience that resonates deeply, be it drama, musicals, or comedy. Over the past couple of years we have seen a number of productions including around the world in 80 days, girl on a train and the Mozart question – all memorable evenings.

But it’s not just the top-notch performances that enchant. The theatre’s setting, a sensitively converted 1940’s Nissen hut, brims with character and history. It mirrors much of the charm we find throughout the Cotswolds, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

A mere stone’s throw from our retreats at Cotswold Water Park, a night at the Barn Theatre promises an enriching blend of culture and entertainment amidst the serene beauty of our countryside.

Also the Barn is the local cinema as well – check out their website for what’s on and at what time!

Sherlock Holmes has just finished to huge acclaim (from our neighbours!) and this is followed up by Constellations from the end of March until late May. At the end of May is Midsummer, a play with songs! A romantic comedy set in Edinburgh! We’ve got our tickets already! Through the summer we’ll have “Some mothers do have ’em” so there will be plenty of berets and trench coats on show!

And don’t forget to swing by their stylish bar for a pre-show cocktail or a post-performance discussion. We can’t wait for you to experience the magic of the Barn Theatre and share your stories with us!
