What is on
Aylesbury's theatres host a broad programme through the year, from large touring musicals and drama to live music, comedy and an annual pantomime. Smaller studio and community venues add amateur productions, dance and one-off events. Between them there is usually something on most weeks, with family shows during the school holidays.
Booking tickets
Most venues sell tickets online and through a box office, with prices varying by show and seat. Popular touring productions and pantomimes can sell out well ahead, so booking early is wise. Many theatres offer accessible performances such as captioned, audio-described or relaxed shows, and have step-free access and assistance on request.
Planning your visit
Check each listing for the venue's location, parking and current programme. For a meal before or after a show, our restaurants and pubs and bars listings cover the town centre, and for more ideas see our things to do section.
