Mainstage (formerly Homburg Theatre)

An excellent performance venue, the Mainstage Theatre offers seating for 1,100. If it’s a theatrical dining experience you seek, ask about hosting a banquet on the Homburg Theatre stage – an experience your delegates will never forget.

The Mainstage Theatre seats 1,106 on two levels. It is a wide theatre with two centre aisles.  There is a safety bar on the first row of the balcony which may obstruct some patrons’ view. Please see Accessibility below for access information.

Concessions

For most of our performances, refreshments and snacks are available before the performance and during intermission. Alcoholic beverages are also served at some of our performances. All snacks and refreshments purchased on-site at concessions are permitted into the theatre. Please note that many of our concession products may contain peanuts or peanut oil.

During the days of COVID we are still putting on events but it has meant some changes to how we offer concessions – in order to avoid line ups ALL concessions will ONLY be available for purchase in advance of arriving at the theatre, through our ticketing system… having troubles then please contact our Box Office staff and they will happily help/walk you through the process!
