The Arts Centre Hounslow has announced the complete programme for the Walled Garden Summer Season 2026, confirming its largest and most ambitious season to date and strengthening its reputation as one of London’s most exciting new summer cultural programmes.
Running across 55 performances and events, the season brings together theatre, musicals, concerts, comedy and new work in a professional outdoor repertory model rarely seen in west London. With more than 1,500 tickets already sold ahead of opening, audiences are already securing seats across the summer.
Now in its third full year, the Walled Garden Summer Season has grown rapidly from a small-scale pilot into a significant producing programme led by The Arts Centre Hounslow, combining in-house productions with visiting artists, nationally recognised performers and emerging musical theatre writing, all presented in the unique setting of the Walled Garden at Boston Manor Park.
Artistic Director Jonathan Ashby said: “The Walled Garden Summer Season has grown year by year into something audiences now actively plan their summer around. What began as a trial has become a confident programme of theatre, music and comedy in one of west London’s most beautiful outdoor settings. This year’s line-up is our strongest yet, and we’re proud to share the full season with audiences.”

With strong early booking already underway and audiences returning year on year, the Walled Garden Summer Season is rapidly establishing itself as a must-visit summer destination for London theatre-goers and families alike.
