About us

Liverpool’s Royal Court is the friendliest theatre in the city. With pre-show dining and a range of drinks served before and after the show, a trip to The Court is night of great entertainment.

An historic art deco building which has been modernised and refreshed, he Royal Court is a mix of modern service standards in a traditional setting. The theatre produces eight long running plays every year, mostly comedies and musicals. The shows have a Liverpool theme with largely Liverpool cast and crew. Sets are built in the city, rehearsals take place here and 95% of all money spent by the theatre goes back into the local economy.

If you want a real Liverpool theatre experience and, most importantly, a brilliant night out then do what more and more Liverpudlians are doing. Get down to The Court!

Annual Review

2023 / 2024 was a great year for Liverpool’s Royal Court with A Thong For Europe and the Eurovision screening being part of the city-wide Eurovision celebration and Boys From The Blackstuff playing at the National Theatre and touring.
