Overview
East Riding Theatre is located in Beverley within a former Baptist Chapel, which was built in 1909. The building has a striking Art Nouveau-Gothic style architecture. It was no longer used as a religious setting in 1964 and was handed over to the East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
In 2013 a voluntary board raised funds to undertake initial surveys of the property, together with 80 volunteers and some local businesses who kindly donated their goods and services, the building was renovated as an independent theatre.
East Riding Theatre finally opened in 2014 with a production of Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’. And since then has proudly been the area’s only producing theatre.
Today, the theatre offers an eclectic range of entertainment: including drama, musicals, comedy, music, art and a wide range of other events. As well as its main auditorium, there is a fully licensed Cafe Bar, which is open throughout the week and during performances.
