Highbury Theatre Centre

Highbury Theatre Centre is a theatre in Sutton Coldfield featuring a main stage and a studio space. Both areas are used throughout the year for a range of dramatic and musical productions.

The origins trace back to 1924 as a reading group, but the physical building came later during a significant period of construction. The official opening occurred in 1942 with a notable play.

The resident company draws local audiences across the seasons with a range of dramatic works and musical productions. It serves as a gathering place where theatre enthusiasts from the community come together to experience live performances.

Evening performances typically start early in the evening while matinee shows run in the early afternoon, accommodating different schedules. Visitors should check in advance which performances align with their planned visit time.

Much of the building was constructed by female members during World War II while male members were serving in the military. This contribution forms an important part of the venue's story.
