At York Theatre Royal, our community is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve been here since 1744, welcoming and entertaining residents and visitors from far and wide.
We are recognised nationally for our work with our community, inspiring people through the magic of live theatre and championing local artists. We are committed to ensuring York Theatre Royal is accessible and welcoming to everyone.
Each year we entertain thousands of people with exceptional live performances. From large-scale community theatre, our legendary pantomime and family-favourite summer shows.
To intimate dramas, epic co-productions with Wise Children and the National Theatre and theatre debuts from York’s most exciting emerging artists – there’s something for everyone!
As a charity and with your vital support we really do make incredible things happen. We are so thankful to all our Members, individuals and businesses helping us to thrive. Your support really matters.
