Comfier Seats and Plush New Look Coming to the Princess Theatre Soon! 

The Princess Theatre in Torquay has some exciting upgrades in store to give the theatre a fresh new look this spring. Starting in May, the auditorium will undergo a major refurbishment including replacing the seating, carpets, curtains and improving front of house areas. 

While significant funds have gone toward behind-the-scenes upgrades recently, it's been decades since noticeable investments were made our audience spaces -so visitors are in for a treat!

Out go the red seats that have been in place since the theatre's 1961 grand opening; to be replaced by new, blue, modern seating to enhance comfort. Alongside new carpets and curtains, the ambience and experience in the theatre will feel completely different to anyone who has visited the theatre before.

"It is wonderful that Ambassador Theatre Group (who manage the Princess Theatre on behalf of Torbay Council) are investing significant funds into this project to improve the experience of all our visitors to the venue.  It demonstrates ATG's commitment to our community so we can continue to be Torquay's home for world-class entertainment for generations to come. 

"We know that the shows we host here have a great impact on the local businesses and attract visitors to the bay so this is great news not just for the theatre but the wider community.  I can't wait to re-welcome our audiences in the Summer and see their reactions to the completed project." said Amy Worsdale, Theatre Director at The Princess Theatre.

And the excitement keeps coming! With the new seating brings a brand-new opportunity which has never been available at the Princess before. You can now invest and adopt your own auditorium seat. Whether you want to dedicate a seat to a loved one or celebrate a treasured memory of being in the Princess Theatre you can be part of the theatre's history with a personalised seat plaque.  Email us to learn more about the details and price – TorquayEvents@theambassadors.com
