Welcome to the Elgiva Theatre.

*** On-line booking will soon be available *** - please let us have your Name, Address and email address so that you can start to book online the minute we go live.!!!


Welcome into our theatre world, where entertainment is the ‘game’ and hours can be passed lost in a field of culture and arts! All very theatrical I know, but it’s what the team at the Elgiva do best, continually striving to provide our audiences with the cream of top talent that’s available, whether it be serious Shakespearean actors, hugely funny comedians (like Jo Brand!) or any of the multitude of brilliant musicians booked to perform over the coming months. If we can’t fill the days and nights with live shows, then we start the reels turning and screen an eclectic array of international movies, thus keeping our programme full and exciting.

As always there really are too many events to list them all, but you can check all forthcoming events by logging onto our monthly calendars. However, I would just like to mention a few shows that are still to be advertised on the www.elgiva.com site.

Music, the sweet sounds of music! Not only are we fortunate to have the return visit of Ralph McTell, following his last sell-out show but we have another brilliant British artiste appearing with us for the first time, she is one of the most powerful and versatile vocal talents of our generation, yes Elkie Brooks will be on stage in November, but seriously book early as one third of the tickets are already sold!! Sadly, in my opinion the best Abba tribute about, Voulez Vous are hanging up their microphones and platform shoes but not before they visit us for one last time in November, also bound to be another sell-out show. Finally before we end our year in spectacular fashion with the extended run (due to demand!) of our pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we are hosting a fabulous weekend of ballet, two performances of Giselle, one of The Nutcracker and one of Coppelia, presenting by the classical Russian dancers from Ballet Russe, a real treat! 

So, thank you all for continuing to patronise YOUR professional theatre, “That’s all Folks!”
