Located at 46 Broadway, just a short stroll from the city centre, the New Theatre Peterborough is a beautifully refurbished venue steeped in history. With an auditorium seating between 1,075 and 1,079 in luxurious cinema-style comfort, it boasts one of the region’s largest stages and regularly presents top-name touring productions, West End musicals, drama, comedy, music, and dance. Originally opened in 1937 as an Art Deco Odeon cinema, it was thoughtfully restored in 2001 as the Broadway Theatre and now stands as the vibrant New Theatre Peterborough, continuing its legacy at the heart of the city’s cultural life. Visitors can enjoy pre-show and interval refreshments at the New Theatre bar.
