Description
Theatre Royal  in Bury St Edmunds  was opened by its proprietor and architect William Wilkins on the 11th of October 1819, and was one of the most elegant, sophisticated and up-to-date playhouses of its age. The fact that it has survived, without significant alteration, into our time is a miracle and it is now one of the only three buildings that can give us the experience of theatre-going in pre-Victorian Britain.

The Theatre itself is currently undergoing an exciting restoration and development programme and we plan to open our doors again in September 2007. Whilst the Theatre is out of action, we are presenting as varied and interesting a programme of events as we can at venues in and around Bury St Edmunds. 

See their website for details of locations and performances.
