Aberdeen Arts Centre, Arts centre and theatre in Aberdeen, Scotland
Aberdeen Arts Centre is an arts centre and theatre housed in a listed building on King Street in the heart of Aberdeen. The venue includes a 350-seat auditorium, performance galleries, and four additional flexible spaces fitted with projection and sound equipment for different types of events.
The space opened in 1963 after the North Parish Church was converted into an arts venue and theatre. Since its founding, it has become an important location for local and touring performers.
The centre hosts ongoing performances by local and touring artists while offering classes for aspiring actors, writers, and illustrators. These programs make it an active place where creativity happens every day.
The building has level access and staff can help you navigate between the different spaces. Plan to spend time exploring both the auditorium and the gallery areas.
The centre faced closure in 1998 but was saved by a public campaign that gathered thousands of signatures. This community action led to a new management structure and shows how valued the venue remains for local people.
