Exeter Northcott Theatre

Small, lively theatre on the University of Exeter campus. Programme mixes new plays and classics, with family shows and youth company work. Regular workshops and community events, from climate storytelling to rehearsed readings. Accessible performances and pre-show dining for a relaxed night out.

The Northcott is a mid-sized producing theatre based at the University of Exeter, a short walk from the city centre. You’ll find straight plays, touring shows and in-house productions like Daphne and The Albatross, plus performances by the Northcott Young Company. The venue runs practical sessions and industry events: workshops for playwrights, BBC Any Questions recordings, and summer programmes for young actors. There are matinees, touch tours and occasional pre-show dining, so it’s easy to plan an accessible, social evening at the theatre.
