The Manchester Palace Theatre is a popular theatre in town where you can see a wide variety of performances including opera, musicals, dance, concerts and occasionally comedy shows. The historic theatre has changed quite a bit in the decades since it opened, but it still offers unforgettable experiences.
Anyone interested in seeing a theatre performance will find fun here. It's notably smaller than other big-name theatres, so it offers a more intimate experience. Most shows tend to last around 2 hours, but this can vary depending on the performance you are attending.

Manchester Palace Theatre highlights
One of the best features of the Manchester Palace Theatre is the intimate seating. The seating area used to be bigger, but it has been reduced to hold 1,955 people across 3 tiers of seating. You can find a seat in the stalls, the circle, and the grand tier.
If you're looking for a particularly luxurious experience, you may want to opt for the Ambassador Lounge, a VIP area with drinks, chocolates and savoury nibbles. Anyone can visit the Stage Door Bar on-site if you're looking to get a drink before or after the show.
