This landmark theatre was severely damaged after the IRA bombing in 1996 and was initially relocated in Upper Campfield Market and Exhibition Centre. Fortunately it has now returned with its original, unique octagonal structure intact, within a spacious and elegant late-Georgian building (dating back to 1809) on St Ann's Square. As part of the redevelopment, there is now also a studio theatre that holds workshops and features works by new playwrights, while the main theatre continues to show thought-provoking modern and classic plays. There is also a bar, craft shop and a great café , a popular breakfast and lunch stop for shoppers.
