There’s something to excite and delight everyone at Theatre Royal Wakefield, from the smallest to the tallest! Our stage is usually occupied 265 days of the year and some of the work is made by us, right here in Wakefield (like our hugely popular pantomime). The rest we hand pick from the best that the UK has to offer. Theatre Royal Wakefield is for everyone, that’s why we are also proud to present work from our local community, amateur societies and groups on our stages.

As summer draws to a close, it's time for Halloween lovers to get excited!
The Void is a chilling sci-fi horror – perfect for a spooky night out👻

A decaying future of desperate humans, all-seeing AI, and memories of a distant, dangerous past. Combining powerful illusions and atmospheric projections, this story asks… what are you afraid of?🫣

If you love an immersive and thrilling experience, this show gives you all that and more, live on stage.

Special message from Sir Tony Robinson!😄

Set in the trenches of the First World War, Blackadder Goes Forth brings together some of the most memorable moments from the original series in one gloriously chaotic and sharply witty production.

Featuring a host of much-loved characters, rapid-fire humour, and Baldrick’s infamous 'cunning plans', it promises an evening full of laughter.
