Claremont Live! returns this summer with open-air theatre and live music in the Garden. In July, bring your deck chairs and picnics for four evenings of theatre with Claremont's magnificent amphitheatre as your backdrop, then enjoy Saturday afternoons in August as fantastic local bands take to the lawn.

Outdoor Theatre

This summer sees the return of some of our favourite outdoor theatre production companies, as well as a new one, all offering something to entertain the whole family.
