The Riverfront Theatre and Arts CentreDetails
The bar and cafe, helpful staff and relaxing surroundings make The Riverfront an exciting building to enjoy by day and night.
The Riverfront is a multi-functional venue that seeks to bring as many people as possible into contact with the arts and creativity, whether as spectators or active participants. It does this through a programme of performances, film screenings, exhibitions, classes and workshops and also offers the facilities available to hire.
Up to 180 professional performances, 110 film screenings and 550 workshops are directly managed and promoted by The Riverfront every year, which is 26 events or activities on average that take place each week.
The Riverfront foyer also displays and sells a small selection of locally hand-crafted cards, pottery and jewellery. Books, toys, stationery and arts/crafts packs are also available for sale at prices to suit every pocket.
Sweets, ice-creams, selected show merchandise and programmes can also be purchased before a show and during the interval.
