Palace Theatre, Newark, Grade II listed theatre in Newark-on-Trent, England.
The Palace Theatre in Newark-on-Trent is a theatre building featuring a proscenium opening about 30 feet (9 meters) wide and a stage about 45 feet (13.7 meters) deep. Seating is arranged across two levels - stalls and circle - providing an intimate layout for audiences.
The theatre opened in 1920 and was designed by architect Emily Bragg. It later became a Grade II listed building, reflecting its architectural value and heritage status.
The venue shifted its focus to live theatre performances after a nearby cinema opened in 2007. Today it serves as a gathering place for people seeking stage productions and theatrical events.
The theatre is located on Appletongate in the town centre and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. Visitors should check the venue's website or call ahead to learn about current productions and availability.
The circle level contains five distinct boxes created by dividing the original side areas of the building. This arrangement reflects how early theatre design prioritized different viewing experiences and privacy for certain audience members.
