The country’s largest theatre, with a seating capacity of almost 3000, the
Opera House is a famous venue which has seen performances from the world’s
greatest entertainers and shows, ever since it opened in 1939.
Hollywood stars such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Bob Hope have all
graced the Opera House stage. More recently, stars including Shirley Bassey, Tom
Jones, Ronan Keating, Jim Davidson and Peter Kay have performed to sell-out
audiences here.
The Winter Gardens has recently seen a £1.25m refurbishment to the Church
Street entrance, Rotunda and Floral Hall along with the stunning interior of the
new Café facility covered up since the late 1960’s.
