York Theatre Royal has been here since 1744, welcoming and entertaining residents and visitors from far and wide. We are the oldest theatre in York, and our beautiful listed building offers accessible facilities and a friendly welcome to all. Our theatre is a hub for many of York’s major cultural events and festivals, with a year-round packed programme of live shows from big productions to fringe theatre, dance, opera, musicals and a world-renowned traditional family pantomime. Come inside and see it live.
