This inviting theatre hosts a varied programme of national touring and local productions including drama, music, comedy and children’s shows.  A number of hugely famous acts have performed at the theatre over the years, including Hollywood actor and popular comedian Lee Evans who, as part of the theatre’s 50th anniversary in 2008, performed a low-key warm-up show for his arena tour. The gig sold out in less than an hour, a record that still stands today.
