Built in 1819 and designed by the eminent architect William Wilkins
, who also designed the National Gallery in London, the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds is this country’s sole surviving example of a Regency playhouse.

One of only eight Grade 1-listed theatres in the country and in the care of the National Trust, it is, in terms of both its architecture and history, one of the most significant theatre buildings in the United Kingdom.

We offer a wide range of contemporary drama, as well as dance, music, comedy and family shows, alongside our period productions. Our heritage programme includes period plays and rehearsed readings, workshops, lectures and more, all presented under our Restoring the Repertoire© banner.

Guided Tours
Enjoy an atmospheric encounter with history as our friendly, experienced guides give you a hands-on tour of this beautiful theatre and its unique heritage. Whether you want to learn more about its eventful past, or simply marvel at the stunning period architecture, now restored to
its full glory after a two year re-development programme, the
 Theatre Royal provides a wonderful opportunity to eavesdrop on conversations with the many important and colourful characters that have graced this building over almost 200 years.

Tours last approximately one hour 20 minutes and cost £4 each (£3 for Friends of the Theatre Royal and National Trust members). Light refreshments are available.


The Theatre also stocks a full range of merchandise.
