Princes Hall, Theatre in Aldershot, England
Princes Hall is a theatre in Aldershot featuring a main auditorium with 590 seats and three additional function rooms that can accommodate different types of events. The space allows for theatre productions, concerts, and private functions within a single venue.
The theatre was commissioned by Rushmoor Borough Council and opened in November 1972 with a gala concert. Prince Philip provided the official inauguration a few months later in May 1973.
The venue has hosted an annual December pantomime since 1972, featuring British entertainers who perform for audiences of all ages. This recurring tradition has become a beloved part of the local community's winter calendar.
The entrance is straightforward and the main hall is easy to navigate once inside. Visitors should allow extra time for parking before events, as spaces can fill up during popular shows.
From 2006 to 2008, the venue was temporarily converted into an ice performance space that hosted Russian skaters and acrobats. This unusual project demonstrated the flexibility of the building to adapt to specialized entertainment formats.
