Angles Theatre

Angles Theatre combines an original theatre building from 1790 with a former library structure that was originally constructed as an infant school in 1837. The venue holds 112 seats and is fully accessible for visitors with mobility needs.

The theatre was established in 1790 and initially operated as part of a circuit of connected venues until 1850. It then operated as a concert room for a period before returning to theatrical use.

The venue has long served local performers and community groups seeking a stage for their work. Today, visitors can see how theatre remains woven into the town's social life through regular performances.

The venue features good sightlines and comfortable seating throughout the hall. A bar located within the building provides refreshments before and after performances for your convenience.

In 1825, Madame Tussaud brought her traveling waxwork exhibition to this venue, complete with live military band accompaniment. The event drew crowds from across the region and became a memorable occasion in the town's history.
