Alderney Landing

Alderney Landing is a waterfront cultural center in Dartmouth featuring a professional theater with 285 seats, an art gallery, a market area, and an events plaza. The facility integrates all these spaces, creating a versatile destination for entertainment and community gathering.

The center opened in May 1999 as part of a development project that connected the existing Alderney Gate municipal offices and ferry terminal. This project fundamentally transformed public access to the waterfront and redefined how the area functioned.

The venue features the resident Eastern Front Theatre company alongside performances by local and international artists in music, dance, and theater. These shows shape the cultural rhythm of the neighborhood and attract regular audiences from across the region.

The theater includes an assistive listening system compatible with hearing aids that delivers enhanced sound to all audience members. An internal pedestrian pathway connects the venue directly to the regional library and ferry terminal, making a visit straightforward.

An internal pathway system connects the venue to the library and ferry terminal without stepping outside, allowing visitors to move freely regardless of weather. This network of covered passages becomes especially valuable during harsh maritime winters when walking outdoors becomes difficult.
