Victoria Theatre

Introduction

The Victoria Theatre was originally known as the Victoria Hall when it was first opened as a concert venue for the borough on 8 February 1901.

In 1960 The Victoria Hall was purchased by Halifax Borough Council who carried out an extensive alteration and repair programme converting it from a concert hall into a theatre and changeing the name to The New Victoria.

In 1973 the name was changed again to The Civic Theatre and finally following the boundary changes in 1993 the theatre was given it's present name The Victoria Theatre.

Boasting an impressive main auditorium with a capacity of 1,568 fully-seated and 1,860 part-standing, the theatre plays host to many high profile and international performers and artistes as well as serving and supporting a wide range of the local community events and activities.

Now in the final years of a major capital investment programme by Calderdale Council the Victoria has been modernised and is continuing to flourish.
