Theatre Royal and The Drum Theatre

Theatre Royal and The Drum Theatre

Plymouth’s Theatre Royal is well worth a visit. Our previous lives living in the South East provide us with a direct comparison with London’s West End theatre and, in our opinion, you can enjoy a quality show and get superb seats (Usually a better selection of seats available for longer than we experienced in London) for a fraction of the price. If you’re thinking of a memorable night out, check what’s on before your visit, the range and quality of productions is superb across the whole year. We also recommend, in contrast, the smaller theatre “The Drum” housed within the Theatre Royal – it also provides a wonderful range of smaller more intimate theatre productions catering to all tastes

  • Parking (pay on arrival) in the Theatre Royal car park located behind the theatre
The Barbican Theatre & B Bar Thai restaurant and bar

The Barbican Theatre & B Bar Thai Restaurant and Bar

A small theatre on two levels with the benefit of a great Thai restaurant housed within so you can enjoy a sensibly priced decent Thai meal and show all in one location.

The upper and lower areas of the theatre hold a broad range of events everything from music, poetry, comedy, theatre and quiz nights. It’s a local hidden gem

  • There is a choice of parking in Plymouth’s Barbican area

Royal William Yard, Plymouth

Royal William Yard blends Plymouth’s historic naval past withaward-winning design. Home to a stunning collection of Grade I listed buildings, the yard has been reanimated to offer something new to experience on every visit, making it one of the best places to eat, shop, relax and play in the heart of the South West.

It’s a much-loved, destination, with a mix of bustling restaurants, bars and shops, water sports and even a marina, sitting alongside a lively artistic community, with a packed calendar of events, and so much to see and do.

Surrounded by water, Royal William Yard offers breath-taking views over Plymouth Sound and across to Cornwall – a vibrant hub for locals and tourists alike.

Highly recommended – visit the website for up and coming events and to plan you visit.
