Outdoor Hire

Hire the Castleyard  – perfect for outdoor theatre productions, markets, fairs, choir performances, comedy nights and much more!

From Shakespeare to Pantomime

The Castleyard makes for a great outdoor space to host your theatre productions. We have had huge success hosting the annual Oxford Shakespeare Festival (now in its 13th year). We too have hosted a number of productions by touring theatre companies and small local Oxfordshire based productions.

Capacity

Our maximum capacity is 300, however this is dependent on the nature of the event.

Facilities

We are fully licensed to sell alcohol from our gift shop. Depending on the size of your production, we may be able to have toilet facilities for your guests.

Price

We can charge per hour hire fee for the Castleyard or we can agree upon a profit share whereby we manage all ticket sales and help to market your event.
