Hull New Theatre is a Grade II listed performing arts venue located on Kingston Square in the centre of Hull. Originally opened in 1939, the theatre underwent a major £16 million refurbishment and reopened in 2017. It now combines its historic auditorium with modern technical, front-of-house and event facilities. The venue primarily operates as a performance theatre, hosting touring West End productions, musicals, dance, drama, family shows, workshops and Hull's major annual pantomime. Beyond theatrical performances, Hull New Theatre is available for private and corporate hire. The venue's official hire information identifies two principal hire areas: the main auditorium, with fixed rake seating, and the Lounge Bar, which accommodates up to 50 people in theatre configuration. The venue is therefore particularly suitable for conferences, presentations, lectures, talks, screenings, award ceremonies, performances, community events and large-scale cultural events. Facilities include a professional stage, modern technical infrastructure, internet/Wi-Fi access, lighting, private-hire areas, onsite catering and licensed bar facilities. The building also provides a main foyer bar, Circle Bar, Lounge Bar, café facilities and accessibility infrastructure. The theatre is accessible through a level main entrance and lift access to the stalls and bar levels. Wheelchair spaces are available at events, while accessible toilets and a Changing Places facility are also provided.
The Main Auditorium is Hull New Theatre's principal performance and large-event space. It features fixed, rake seating arranged across the stalls, circle and boxes, together with a substantial professional stage. The auditorium is suitable for theatrical productions, conferences, lectures, presentations, screenings, performances and other large-scale events requiring substantial audience capacity.
Situated one level above the main foyer, the stylish Lounge Bar accommodates up to 50 guests in a theatre layout. This flexible, brightly lit room can be tailored into various setups, making it perfect for smaller business meetings, intimate workshops, private drinks receptions, or networking events.
Offering an elegant and intimate setting on the upper tier, the Circle Bar has a private standing capacity for up to 40 people. The sophisticated, cozy layout makes it an exceptional choice for exclusive VIP gatherings, private interval drinks, small birthday celebrations, or low-key corporate mixers.
The sleek, modern Café Bar features contemporary seating options alongside full catering capabilities. This bright and welcoming space functions brilliantly for daytime networking, informal business breakfast meetups, event luncheon spreads, or as a post-conference dinner gathering venue.
