A celebratory event on Wednesday 15 September highlighting Paignton’s rich heritage and culture. The Palace Theatre showcase promises to be an entertaining morning, packed with fascinating stories of the past.

It’s been a long wait but at last we have had covid restrictions removed and are celebrating a very successful FULL HOUSE with the wonderful Jive Talkin’in an amazing night of Bee Gees hits.

It’s only a few weeks since re-opening and we have just topped the £1,000 mark in our end-of-night bucket collections. Thank you!

The ZOOTS are our first post-lockdown live music gig we are delighted that we will be their first ‘Sounds of the Sixties’ show in over 12 months. Like all live music and theatre performers they have missed being on the stage.

The good news is that we’re back! We have a packed calendar of plays, live music, dance, comedy and day-time talks coming your way and tickets for all events are on sale now.

… there is no question that the support we have received from Arts Council England has been an absolute lifesaver.

Excellent news! Our wonderful Technical Manager, Clive Simmons, was announced this week as a WINNER in the UNSUNG HERO Devon Tourism Awards.

The Palace Theatre wore its Valentine’s Day colours especially for you at the weekend and you responded by showing your love for live theatre. 

Our wonderful Technical Manager, Clive Simmons, is a finalist in the Devon Tourism Awards 2020 UNSUNG HERO category.

Another industry win for the Jazz Hands team!

This is incredibly good news and shows that the Arts Council believe in what we have been doing here and look forward to the future.

It saddens us to have to announce that for the first time in our history, there will be no Paignton Pantomime this year and Jack and the Beanstalk will now be our 2021/22 pantomime.

A poetry workshop celebrating identity and difference, home and belonging is the latest creative initiative from the Palace Theatre.

We’re ready to welcome you back, please do check our Covid19 requirements before you visit.

A wonderful afternoon of entertainment to support local theatre.
