Theatre

Cheshire is home to a variety of theatres across the county showing a range of performances from comedy to jazz, musicals, opera and shows for the whole family to enjoy.

Storyhouse is Cheshire's newest theatre, situated in Chester city centre in the beautiful restored and revitalised 1930s Odeon building housing an 800-seat auditorium, a 150-seat studio theatre and a 100-seat boutique, independent cinema.

The Lyceum Theatre in Crewe is the only Edwardian theatre in Cheshire. At over 100 years old, this Grade II listed theatre is a local institution. The Brindley Theatre is the main centre for arts and entertainment for the borough of Halton which covers the twin towns of Runcorn and Widnes on either side of the River Mersey.

Or if you fancy something completely different you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the towns and city, and enjoy a performance at Clonter Opera Theatre, in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. The 'Clonter Experience' offers you the opportunity to entertain friends and clients in the convivial atmosphere of an intimate theatre whilst enjoying operatic productions as well as jazz and other musical events.

Please follow the latest COVID guidelines and check the gov website for up to date restrictions before you visit. Some venues may have their own individual rules so please check directly with the venue before you visit.

Check out all the upcoming performances at these theatres throughout the year below.
