Spring 2026...

Borough Theatre, Abergavenny

  • slide

Presenting a year round programme of professional and community productions, the Borough Theatre is a lively 338 seat venue situated right in the centre of the historic market town of Abergavenny, the traditional Gateway to Wales.

The theatre is part of the town hall building and dates back to 1870. The theatre was extensively renovated in the early 1990s and boasts an intimate auditorium with excellent sightlines and acoustics, which succeeds in blending historic and traditional features with a modern ambience.

Each year we show a wide ranging programme of live events covering drama, opera, ballet, music, children’s events, dance, comedy, storytelling, tribute bands and talks. Many of the UK’s top touring companies and artistes regularly visit the Borough Theatre, and probably the best known performers seen here were The Beatles back in 1963.
