Theatre Royal, Manchester, Grade II listed theatre in Manchester, England.

The Theatre Royal exhibits Neoclassical architecture with grand columns and ornamental details across its monumental stone facade on Peter Street.

Built in 1845 as Manchester's first permanent theatre, the structure underwent modifications in 1875 and 1921 while maintaining its original stage machinery.

Throughout its existence, this performance venue has transformed from a traditional theatre to a cinema, bingo hall, and later a nightclub.

The building stands near public transportation links in central Manchester, with multiple parking facilities available within walking distance.

The theatre retains its nineteenth-century internal plasterwork and mechanical stage equipment, making it a rare example of Victorian theatre technology.
