Theatre & Cinema Season returns for 2022

Derby LIVE and Derby Parks will be bringing the ever-popular Outdoor Theatre and Cinema season back to the picturesque surroundings of Markeaton Park in July 2022.

Audiences can enjoy a double bill of Shakespeare from Oddsocks Theatre and Derby Shakespeare Company, two great interactive performances perfect for children with Babbling Vagabonds and Pop Up Theatre, and showings of award-winning films.

Held in the Craft Village, the season will kick off with Children’s Pop-up Theatre Fairy Tales on Saturday 2 July and Sunday 3 July and Derby-based Oddsocks Theatre will bring a new adaptation of Hamlet the Comedy (7+) – Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, performed as you’ve never seen before with lots of laughs, music and memorable moments. The production will be at Markeaton Park between Thursday 14 and Saturday 16 July.

Markeaton Park Outdoor Cinema returns as part of the season, with more fantastic showings, including The Full Monty (15+) on Friday 29 July, Mamma Mia (PG) on Saturday 30 July, and Grease (PG) on Sunday 31 July.
