The Cheltenham Playhouse is a unique and intimate 186-seat theatre, with stunning Regency architecture and a wide range of performances and events that offer something for everyone.
Whether you enjoy watching a show, want to tread the boards or fancy giving us a hand as a volunteer, we can help make it happen. Our theatre is equipped with bars serving refreshments, accessible and baby changing facilities, rehearsal and meeting rooms and a host of friendly faces to ensure your visit is memorable from start to finish.
Since opening as a theatre in 1945, the Playhouse has seen many shows and events, with the Christmas Panto and the Cheltenham Fringe Festival recently establishing a popular following.
The building, however, dates back to 1806 having also been home to a salts laboratory, a swimming bath (which you can still see under the auditorium), slipper baths, medical spa, a steam mill and bakery, and an indoor cycling school.
