The Playhouse, Grade II listed theatre in Cheltenham, England
The Playhouse features an auditorium within a converted Georgian spa building, retaining elements of its original 19th-century architecture.
Opening in April 1945 during World War II, the theatre emerged from the transformation of Montpellier Baths, one of Cheltenham's earliest spa structures from 1806.
The venue maintains a full calendar of performances spanning drama, comedy, and music events while serving as headquarters for multiple amateur theatre groups.
Located at 47-53 Bath Road, the theatre provides wheelchair access, designated parking spots, and operates its box office Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 4pm.
After experiencing severe fire damage in 1950, the theatre's balcony remained unrestored for 57 years until its reconstruction in 2007.
