We are back in Sophia Gardens next summer with another exciting programme of theatre for all the family. 

This summer we were thrilled to be on tour, but in 2022 we are returning to Sophia Gardens in central Cardiff from 23rd June – 30th July. Our full programme will be announced soon, with productions including Blackadder Goes Forth directed by Simon H West, Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night directed by David Mercatali, and Little Shop of Horrors with the creative team of Rich Tunley and Rob Thorne Jr. 

Also heading to the stage is the family production of Disney’s High School Musical produced by Go Theatre, and Everyman Youth Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors. 

Many of our cast and crew from our planned 2020 festival will be returning to these productions, but keep an eye out on our social media pages and website for information soon about casting and volunteering opportunities. Tickets will be released for the 2022 festival in March next year.
