The Savoy Theatre

Historic theatre offering live performances, film screenings, and community events

Tucked away on Church Street in the centre of Monmouth, The Savoy Theatre is one of the most charming cultural venues in South Wales – and proudly holds the title of the oldest working theatre in Wales. With its rich history and beautiful Edwardian interior, the Savoy offers a truly memorable experience for audiences of all ages.

This independent venue is known for its diverse and vibrant programme. Whether you’re into live music, stand-up comedy, theatre, dance, or films, there’s something on the calendar to suit every taste. Regular cinema screenings include the latest blockbusters, indie favourites, and classic movies, often paired with themed events or special Q&A sessions. You’ll also find family-friendly shows, pantomimes, local drama groups, and one-night-only performances from nationally touring acts.

Beyond the stage and screen, the Savoy plays a vital role in the local community. It supports a wide range of grassroots arts initiatives, schools and young people’s projects, and regularly offers its space for talks, workshops and community events. It’s also a key venue during festivals and local celebrations.

Stepping inside, visitors are welcomed by the theatre’s warm and nostalgic atmosphere. With ornate features, red velvet seating, and a strong sense of heritage, it’s an experience that’s as much about the building as it is about the performance. Modern sound and lighting technology ensures quality productions, while the intimate layout brings you close to the action.

Located in the heart of Monmouth, The Savoy is close to independent shops, cafés, pubs, and riverside walks. It’s a must-visit for anyone exploring the Wye Valley looking for a cultural evening or afternoon of entertainment.
