Hull New Theatre

Hull New Theatre is a great theatre in the heart of the city centre. The staff are helpful and will assist you with you enquiries or bookings.
Food and drink are on the expensive side at the theatre.
Some seating offers poor viewing of the stage. I would personally like to see the National Anthem brought back after each performance.

Hull New Theatre is a great provincial theatre that puts on a huge variety of shows, from the one-​man performance to a cast of thousands (not literally, you understand!!), from children’s to grown ups’ entertainment, from musicals to serous drama, from opera to ballet, from professional to amateur. On top of all that, the annual Christmas pantomime holds spellbound adults and children alike.
The staff are generally very friendly and always willing to give a helpful hand.
Like all theatres, or at least the ones I’ve visited, the drinks are a little expensive in the two bars, one in the basement and one on the first floor.
There is a good range of discounts and a Gold Card scheme where one can obtain tickets on a two-​for-​one basis for restricted performances (usually on opening night only) and other discounts throughout the week.

A proper ‘traditional’ theatre with stalls and circles. Always gets some good touring productions through the year, as well as big names for the panto (think Chuckle Brothers, Cannon & Ball, and that bloke out of Emmerdale who played Joe Sugden).
I’ve never had a bad night out at Hull New Theatre, and worth a trip if you enjoy proper ‘live’ entertainment

Great place for both adults & children, shows of all descriptions are shown here throughout the year, they do a great pantomime each year with well known stars,(i can recall many years ago when my son got to shake hands & chat with Les Dennis when he appeared there one christmas time) I think the place first opened in 1939 by Peppino Santangelo & has been going strong ever since despite being hit directly in the war years ago & once had the threat of being made into a bingo hall but as we have enough of them am so glad it stayed as it is, i believe the hull council now own it so its upto them if it ever changes at all
