The Riverfront, Arts centre and theatre in Newport, United Kingdom.
The Riverfront is a multi-level arts facility in central Newport housing two theatre spaces, an art gallery, dance studio, recording studio, and workshop areas. The layout brings together different creative disciplines under one roof for varied programming.
The facility was established in October 2004 by Newport City Council as the city's first professional theatre and arts venue. This opening marked a major shift in cultural infrastructure for the developing city.
The venue serves as a meeting point where live performances, film screenings, and visual art displays happen regularly throughout the year. Local artists and performers use the spaces to create and show their work to the community.
The centre maintains regular opening hours from Monday through Saturday with extended evening hours on performance nights. Check ahead to see what shows or exhibitions are scheduled during your visit.
The venue contains specialized recording studios and practice rooms where regional musicians develop their craft and compose new works. These facilities make it a creative hub beyond just presenting finished productions.
