## Description

Kew Gardens is inviting bids, from experienced suppliers, to provide an open air theatre production, appealing to our members as well as reaching out to new audiences looking for a 'family day out'\. Our aim is for the outdoor theatre events to provide family entertainment standards befitting of this world class environment such that the theatrical productions offers a standard of excellence to match the horticultural excellence achieved within the gardens\. Outdoor Theatre should encapsulate the magical and enchanting experience of a child's first visit to the beautiful Botanic Gardens at Kew\. Outdoor Theatre has taken place in Kew Gardens on a number of occasions, most recently in 2016 over the school summer holiday period with productions focusing on a family audience\. Kew is a World Heritage Site and very careful attention is given to protecting the Gardens, including the tree collection and built structures, and to minimising sound transfer and its potential impact on the local community\. This opportunity is being let for two years plus up to a further two years possible extension\.
