Whitby Pavilion

Built in 1878 the theatre is well equipped with up-to-date sound and lighting facilities, yet retains the wonderful atmosphere of its Victorian origins. Having undergone refurbishment the stalls are now removable, providing space for a dance hall, thus enabling the theatre to be used as it was in the 1940s. The theatre is a traditional proscenium arch with seating for up to 380, this accommodation is made up of 236 seats in the stalls, (of which four are wheelchair access spaces), while the remainder of the seating comprises the tiered circle. The intimate and cosy bar area has extensive sea views and makes a perfect meeting place before a show and is always popular afterwards. The theatre is home to a wide and varied mix of entertainment including plays; traditional drama, pantomimes, musicals and comedy.
