Alexandra Theatre, Grade II listed theatre in Newton Abbot, England.
The Alexandra Theatre is a theatre and former corn exchange in Newton Abbot that hosts performances and film screenings. The building displays early 20th-century features with a symmetrical facade and a traditional stage layout designed for varied types of events.
The building was originally constructed as a corn exchange and was converted into a theatre in 1920. This transformation saved the structure and established it as a lasting venue for the community.
The theatre serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors experience live drama, dance performances, and cinema together. You will notice how the space brings together different generations and reflects what the community values in entertainment.
The venue is centrally located in Newton Abbot with public transport access and straightforward pedestrian routes. You should check the programme in advance as the mix of theatre and film screenings changes throughout the year.
The theatre is now run by a community benefit society managed by local people, which means decisions about programming and operations stay in the hands of those who live here. This form of ownership has allowed the venue to survive challenges and maintain its independence.
