The Waterside Theatre opened on the 12th October with the award–winning and breathtaking Northern Ballet Theatre’s Swan Lake.
As the first new theatre of the decade in Britain, the Waterside Theatre holds a unique position in theatre history. Around 300,000 people from across Aylesbury Vale and beyond are expected to visit the new theatre each year to enjoy a dynamic and diverse programme of live performances
The theatre’s name reflects its location as it is situated beside the Grand Union Canal, to the south of Aylesbury. The train and bus station are a 5 minutes walk away as is access to the town centre’s restaurants, pubs and hospitality areas in Market Square and Kingsbury Square.
The concept for the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre was developed by Aylesbury Vale District Council and internationally-renowned theatre designers, RHWL Arts Team. The theatre has a 1,200-seat auditorium that converts into a 1,800-capacity hall for standing events, and a 225-seat suite for smaller events including dance, drama, meetings and conferences.
