Queen's Theatre

The building features original architectural elements from 1840, including stone walls, wooden beams, and carefully preserved structural components throughout its interior spaces.

Established in 1840 as the first permanent theatre in mainland Australia, the venue operated initially for two years before closing due to economic difficulties.

The theatre presents contemporary performances ranging from musical concerts and theatrical productions to poetry readings and community gatherings throughout the year.

Located at the intersection of Gilles Arcade and Playhouse Lane, the theatre contains a licensed bar serving refreshments during performances and events.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered numerous artifacts from the 1840s, including a gold and ruby earring, clay pipes, and vintage shoes.
