Information from the Theatre:

On Sunday 8 September we are hosting a Heritage Open Day event and opening our doors to the public as part of our 130 year Anniversary celebrations.
Explore our beautiful auditorium, first built by renowned Victorian theatre architect, Frank Matcham, in 1894. Visit an exhibition on our history to learn more about our 130 year residency on Westgate. Take part in fun activities for the whole family in our Walker Studio, including our adult and kids tombolas.
The event is free and is running from 10am to 4pm so pop in whenever.
