The Georgian Theatre Royal

Built by actor-manager Samuel Butler in 1788, the Georgian Theatre Royal was managed by Butler along with his circuit of theatres at Beverley, Harrogate, Kendal, Northallerton, Ulverston and Whitby.

As Britain's most complete Georgian playhouse, we invite you to explore the theatre, its history and what's on offer. There is something for everyone: professional productions to suit every taste including music, comedy, drama, pantomime and dance; workshops and youth theatre classes, free events in the first floor bar on Mondays, and much more.

Looking for an elegant setting for a function, wedding, conference, informal reception or performance? The Georgian Theatre Royal is the perfect venue for your upcoming event.
