Theatre Royal


Located on Grey Street in the heart of the city, Newcastle Theatre Royal is an iconic Grade I listed building established in 1837. Renowned for its grand architecture and vibrant cultural contributions, the theatre showcases the finest drama and musicals, award-winning ballet and dance, family-friendly shows, sensational opera, and (we believe) the best pantomime in the country!

Following major refurbishments in 1901 and 2011, Newcastle Theatre Royal maintains its historic charm with modern amenities, including a lift to access upper floors and an infrared audio system. The venue features the main stage, a newly renovated studio theatre, and multiple function rooms available for hire, making it an ideal location for corporate meetings and events.

As a registered charity, Newcastle Theatre Royal operates an extensive educational outreach program and is committed to fostering engagement and artistic innovation within the region.

Experience world-class performances from prestigious touring companies like Opera North, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, Newcastle Theatre Royal promises an unmatched cultural experience that will leave you inspired and entertained.
