Waterside Theatre

As of 28th June 2024, the Waterside Theatre and Arts Centre has closed permanently. The difficult decision to close was taken after careful consideration by the board and management in light of funding issues.

We would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of everyone who has served as a board member, been an employee or volunteered at Waterside Theatre over the last 23 years. We are grateful to our funders and all the organisations who have partnered with us on projects that have delivered much needed artistic, employment and health and welfare benefits to those most in need in our community. But most of all, we would like to thank everyone who attended a performance, visited an exhibition or participated in a community arts programme at the theatre or at the many partnership venues across the city and region.

It has been a privilege to serve you.
