Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in the Boston Manor House Walled Garden last year
June 3, 2025
The first full Walled Garden Summer Season is to be held in Boston Manor Park this year.
The programme includes Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which returns following its sell-out run in 2024, alongside Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, both performed under the stars by a professional ensemble cast, as well as comedy and music events.
A pilot season held in 2024 was deemed to be a success and The Arts Centre Hounslow is running an extended series of events from 22 July to 31 August.
Kicking off with a family show, Grandpa Poseidon on Tuesday 22 July, the following day sees Frozen Love: A Buckingham Nicks Story which traces the roots of Fleetwood Mac
Sindhu Vee, Finlay Christie, and host Stephen K Amos deliver top-tier stand-up at Headliners Comedy and Magic Of The Musicals showcases talent working in the local cultural scene.

Other family shows include Dr Freg and the Fruit & Veg Mysteries, and The Big Bad Wolf: A Rock ’n’ Roll Musical.
The season concludes with the Boston Manor Beer Festival which offers a weekend of live music, craft brews, and street food.

“Last year showed us how brilliant this space can be for so many different purposes, in this case for laughter, connection, and celebration,” said Jonathan Ashby, Artistic Director of The Arts Centre, Hounslow.
“This full season is a bold step forward, bringing leading cultural initiatives into the heart of the community in an accessible summer location.”
Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the box office on 020 7947 9263 with concessions and family bundles available. Audiences are encouraged to bring a picnic and grab a drink from the on-site bar.
