Theatre Royal and The Drum sits at the heart of Plymouth’s cultural district, occupying a prominent position in the city centre. This dual-venue theatre complex serves as a major entertainment hub, hosting a wide range of performances from drama and comedy to dance, music and pantomime. The Theatre Royal is the main auditorium, while The Drum provides a more intimate black-box performance space for experimental work and smaller productions. Both venues draw audiences from across Devon and beyond, making it one of the South West’s leading regional theatres.
The theatre is easily reached from Plymouth’s rail and coach stations, with strong road links via the A38. The site’s central location makes it accessible on foot from the city’s shopping and business quarters. With a dedicated box office telephone line and a comprehensive website listing current productions, visitor information and booking, the venue welcomes both regular theatregoers and first-time visitors to explore Plymouth’s cultural offer.
