Altrincham Garrick Theatre

General information

Altrincham Garrick is an independent amateur theatre located in Altrincham, Cheshire.

Altrincham Garrick Society was founded in 1913 and has been in operation continually since. A brief history of the society can be found on our website here: http://www.altrinchamgarrick.co.uk/about-the-theatre/history/

Our facilities include: a state of the art, 400-seat proscenium arch theatre as well as a 50-seat fully equipped studio theatre. We also have professional front of house services including: full time box office; bar; kiosk and substantial car-parking. On the whole the operation is run by volunteers, with a team of paid staff. We also operate Garrick Academy of Performing Arts, a venture giving young people a foundation in the disciplines of performance.

We stage twelve full scale productions each season in the main house and a number of smaller scale productions in the studio theatre. Our productions include dramas; musicals; pantomime; farce; comedy. We also have a thriving group of amateur visiting societies, who hire the theatre to stage their own productions. Additionally, we commercially hire out the facilities to professional touring productions and for corporate purposes.
