Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds
Overview
The only surviving Regency playhouse in Britain
Theatre Royal is one of Britain's most significant theatre buildings and the only surviving Regency playhouse in the country.
This restored Grade I listed theatre offers you an authentic 19th Century theatre-going experience, combined with a contemporary bar for the 21st Century theatre-goer.
The theatre presents a vibrant, year-round programme of drama, music, dance and light entertainment, featuring many of this country's leading companies and performers. It also offers a wide-ranging educational and community-based programme of actvities, tours and heritage teas.
Please come and visit us, we love to show people our theatre, but do call us before you come on 01284 769505 to check we are able to accommodate you. Sometimes we may not be open due to changes in circumstances including show preparations or auditions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bury St Edmunds and its Regency jewel.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
