Capitol refresh - behind the scenes

Edition: March 2025

The theatre auditorium will be temporarily unavailable for a short period between April and May to allow for a series of surveys and inspections.

The Capitol

Across the summer season there will be lots of opportunities to stay creative. Film fans can keep up to date with the latest blockbuster releases in our cinemas and we’ll be hosting a range of exciting new workshop events, both in the performing arts and beyond, for our community to get involved with.

The autumn season is jam- packed with entertainment, including a final festive foray into the forest, with our family pantomime, Robin Hood! Following the New Year curtain call, The Capitol will close the doors in January 2026 until the Autumn, whilst a range of improvements are made to the whole venue to improve the customer experience.
