The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford presents and produces vibrant, excellent drama for the people of Guildford, Surrey and beyond. With a thriving studio space and Creating Learning programme, the Yvonne Arnaud is a culture hub and an artistic resource: a local theatre with a national reach.
The nearly 600-seat Main Stage auditorium offers a varied programme including drama, comedy, West End classics, children’s shows and Guildford’s annual Christmas family pantomime. The smaller stage in the Mill Studio offers fantastic small-scale work from established and emerging artists, and an annual art exhibition.
A Grade 2 listed building, the theatre also has a range of attractive rooms and spaces in central Guildford, available for hire for anything from business meetings to birthday parties, as well as its own café overlooking the River Wey.
The theatre is currently undergoing a multi-million pound capital project, ‘Play Your Part’ to transform the iconic and much-loved building, radically improving accessibility and creating new multi-purpose spaces for wider community and artistic benefit. This includes the provision of a lift to all floors, new accessible toilets, improving environmental sustainability and remodelling public spaces to meet growing demand.
