The Shelley Theatre in Boscombe is a magical place to watch classic theatre productions, film screenings and a host of other events.

Built in 1870, our theatre was the private abode and performing home to the world famous Shelleys, a theatrical and literary dynasty from the 19th century. After a period of alternate use and recent purchase by the present owners, we are currently restoring the theatre to its former glory.

The facilities are therefore still being worked upon and improved as investment allows. With a full year round performance and film programme, facilities include a 160 seat auditorium, small dressing room, baby grand piano, black box staging, lighting and sound facilities.
