Theatre Royal

Architectural Showpiece

No visit to Newcastle would be complete without seeing this Palladian masterpiece in Grey Street in the heart of Grainger Town. Better still, why not book a couple of seats to see one of the 380 productions as diverse as Shakespeare, Ballet and Pantomime.

Reputed to be the favourite theatre of Sir Ian McKellen, the auditorium has been re-instated to its full 19th century splendour. If you haven't time to take in a show, check it out by taking one of the guided tours which are offered regularly (see the website)
