Town Hall Theatre, Portadown

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.

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.

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.

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.

The mayoral chain includes gold medals from Mrs. Sam McGredy, a local rose breeder from the area. This unusual connection between civic regalia and horticulture tells of the importance of plant breeding to the town's heritage.
