Our theatre is the largest independent theatre in the West End and has been home for more than a century to an eclectic range of award-winning shows.
Seating up to 1,300 people across three levels, the auditorium’s timeless glamour provides the ideal backdrop for conferences, seminars and product launches, daytime events and productions, when the resident production is not showing. Each level has its own bar and toilets, and every seat enjoys an uninterrupted view of the stage.
All events benefit from state-of-the-art sound and light equipment, use of the stage to a depth of six metres, and some of the finest technical talent in the West End. We take a collaborative approach to ensuring that your performance is presented to the highest standards. Television, film, photographic and radio productions are also easily accommodated at Shaftesbury Theatre.
