On Hope Street, between the two cathedrals, the new Everyman opened in March 2014 to great acclaim from audiences and critics, winning the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture. Accessible and environmentally sustainable, the new theatre combines the trademark wrap-around auditorium and basement bistro with many new facilities.

The Everyman is easily accessible by bus, train, car and bike. Since we’re striving to be a greener business, we hope you’ll consider the impact of your travel when you visit.

Found beneath the St John’s Beacon in Williamson Square, the Playhouse has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building for both its old 19th century auditorium and 20th century front of house extension. Seating 677 across three levels in a traditional proscenium arch setting, it is a surprisingly intimate theatre. As well as the main stage, the upstairs Studio serves as a performance space and rehearsal room. The Playhouse is easily accessible by bus, train, car and bike.
