Salisbury Playhouse

Salisbury Playhouse is a theatre in Salisbury with two performance spaces of different sizes. The larger auditorium holds over 500 seats, while the smaller studio accommodates around 150 spectators.

The theatre was founded in 1976 and created a permanent performance venue for the city. It has been supported by funding from Arts Council England and local authorities since its opening.

The playhouse presents a range of productions each year, from contemporary works to classical adaptations and seasonal pantomimes. These performances draw regular audiences from the region and help shape the cultural life of the community.

The entrance is near Fisherton Street and a central car park, making it easy to find and access by car. The building is open during daytime hours on weekdays and stays open later on performance evenings.

The playhouse operates a youth theatre program that offers young artists regular workshops and performance opportunities throughout the year. This training initiative uses the smaller studio as its primary space for developing emerging talent.
