Gorleston Pavilion, Grade II listed theatre in Gorleston-on-Sea, England
The Gorleston Pavilion Theatre stands on the seafront with a 300-seat auditorium, a rear balcony, and an upper room offering views of the beach and cliffs.
Built between 1898 and 1901 by architect John William Cockrill, the building initially served as a shelter hall and later functioned as an army facility during World War I.
The theater presents various performances including comedy shows, drama productions, pantomimes, and musical events, while supporting youth programs through its stage school.
The Gorleston Pavilion Trust operates the venue as a charitable organization, focusing on promoting arts and creating employment opportunities for young people in the performing arts sector.
The proscenium arch received a complete reconstruction in 1919, and the building's upper balcony now serves as a technical control area for stage productions.
