The Palace Theatre is in the heart of Newark, just off the Market Square.

Built in the 1920s, it has been both a theatre and a picture house over the years. With 600 seats split over two levels, eight exclusive boxes, and dedicated spaces for wheelchair users, it has recently been redecorated and refurbished, and its new, dramatic mix of modern and traditional styles is a symbol of the theatre's approach to the future.
