Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury reopens later this week

After a long interval Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury has announced plans for reopening this week.

The arts venue has been closed since 30 December 2020 due to the pandemic and the third Lockdown that began on 4 January 2021.

Theatre Severn’s sister venue, The Old Market Hall, will continue to run a Café Bar outside in The Square, with plans to re-pen indoor seating soon.

While the cinema at the Old Market Hall remains closed for now, a film programme will restart at Theatre Severn from Friday 21 May 2021, alongside selected live events in the weeks ahead. 

David Jack, Venues and Programme Manager, said: “Following our closure at the end of December 2020, we are thrilled to be reopening the venue this week. We have been hugely grateful for the support and understanding of our audiences and can’t wait to welcome you all back again.

“The safety and welfare of both visitors and staff remains at the forefront of our plans to reopen, and we will continue to observe social distancing, reduce face-to-face-interactions, maintain enhanced hygiene within the venues, alongside the wearing of face coverings where applicable.”
