About
Theatre Royal Plymouth
Located in the heart of Plymouth, Theatre Royal Plymouth is one of the UK's leading regional producing theatres, presenting an extensive programme of musicals, drama, ballet, opera, dance and contemporary performance. With three distinctive performance spaces and professional production facilities, the theatre offers an impressive setting for conferences, presentations, awards ceremonies, product launches and live entertainment.
The venue's principal auditorium, The Lyric, accommodates up to 1,300 guests, making it particularly suitable for large-scale conferences and events requiring a substantial stage and professional technical infrastructure. The more intimate Drum and Lab theatres provide additional options for smaller presentations, workshops and performances, allowing organisers to select a setting appropriate to their audience.
Alongside its auditoriums, Theatre Royal Plymouth offers front-of-house hospitality areas, cafés and licensed bars, supporting delegate arrivals, refreshments and networking. Its central location and established technical expertise make it a distinctive alternative to conventional conference centres for organisations seeking a professional theatrical setting.
