The Alnwick Playhouse, Arts centre and theatre in Alnwick, England.
The Alnwick Playhouse is an arts centre and theatre with a main performance stage, an auditorium seating 200, and workshop spaces. The building includes a foyer, cafe, and bar for visitors.
The building opened as a cinema and music hall with 700 seats in 1925 and operated until 1979. After extensive renovation work, it reopened in 1990 as an arts centre.
The venue hosts theatre productions, film screenings, concerts, and dance performances that draw both local and visiting artists. Community events and touring shows create a lively calendar of performances throughout the year.
The venue has a cafe and bar where you can eat and drink before or after performances. Opening hours are extended on show nights to accommodate guests attending events.
The playhouse covers about 93 percent of its operating costs through ticket and food sales, which is remarkable financial independence for a cultural venue. This self-sufficiency allows the organisation to shape its programming with minimal external funding.
