Royal & Derngate, Arts centre in Northampton, England
The Royal & Derngate complex encompasses two connected theaters: the Royal Theatre with 450 seats and the Derngate Theatre accommodating 1,200 spectators.
Architect Charles J. Phipps designed the Royal Theatre in 1884, while the Derngate Theatre opened in 1983 before both venues merged operations in 1999.
The venue presents over 700 creative projects each year, reaching more than 20,000 participants through theatrical productions, concerts, and educational programs.
The complex includes Lola's Bar for refreshments and connects to the Northampton Filmhouse, which offers independent cinema screenings with 90 seats.
A £14.5 million renovation in 2005 transformed the building into an integrated cultural facility with additional creative spaces and modernized amenities.
