As part of our plans to future-proof our beloved venue, we will be temporarily closed from January – October 2026 for refurbishment. During this period, we’ll be undergoing essential maintenance and refreshing the building throughout, to improve both the customer experience and the aesthetic look and feel of the venue.
This investment aims to protect The Capitol’s history and create a more accessible, sustainable and comfortable environment for customers, whilst honouring the venue’s heritage and treating it with the love and respect it deserves.
We’re very excited to share we’ll be sprucing up various customer areas (including our toilets, bar area and box office) as well as repainting the theatre auditorium. We will be replacing the heating and cooling system, along with our seats in both the cinema screens and theatre, to ensure every visit is a comfortable one.
Whilst our doors are closed, we’ll be sharing updates and insights via our mailing list, so be sure to sign up (by updating your account contact preferences online) if you haven’t already. You can also follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram to catch more sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes action. We can’t wait to share more information with you when we can!
The good news is we’ll be reopening in time for Panto 2026 – so your festive family fun will be waiting here for you! In the meantime, make sure you get booked for this year’s Robin Hood which will be the perfect grand finale to our winter season. Oh yes it will!
We’d like to take a moment to thank all our valued customers who make The Capitol a very special place to be. We’re very grateful for your support and can’t wait for the start of our next chapter with you!
Kind regards,
The Capitol Team
