Town Hall Theatre, Portadown, Arts centre and Grade B1 listed building in Portadown, Northern Ireland.
Description
The Town Hall Theatre is an arts and performance venue in Portadown housed in a protected Victorian building with red brick walls, terracotta trim, and distinctive gabled rooflines. The symmetrical design and architectural details reflect late 19th century craftsmanship.
History
The building was designed in 1890 by architects Robert and Thomas Roe and later became the administrative headquarters after Portadown gained municipal status in 1947. This transition made it the town's primary public building.
Culture
The main hall functions as a performance space where local theatre groups present regular shows for the community. This active use has made the building a living center for artistic life.
Practical
The venue is located on Edward Street and is accessible by local transport connections. Check the event schedule before visiting as opening times vary depending on performances and bookings.
