Orchard Theatre

The Orchard Theatre is a performance venue in Dartford featuring an auditorium with approximately 956 seats arranged in theatre style, providing good sightlines from every position. The space can be reconfigured for different event types, from intimate concerts to larger presentations.

The theatre was opened in 1983 by the Duke of Kent, marking an important moment for Dartford's cultural development. It became an established venue for local and regional performances.

The venue serves as a cultural hub where musical theatre, dramatic works, comedy, and classical music draw audiences from across the region. Winter pantomimes are a long-standing tradition that brings families back year after year.

Visitors will find that sightlines are good from all seating areas and the acoustics work well throughout the space. The flexible room layout allows different configurations depending on the type of event being held.

The auditorium is not fixed in one layout but can be reshaped into different configurations: U-shape, banquet rounds, classroom style, or cabaret style. This flexibility means each event can be tailored to suit its specific needs.
