Creative use of circular stage surrounded by multiple levels of seatings in a circular pattern. Performances are always carefully selected, sometime challenging, sometimes experimental but never dull. Has an emphasis on using actors and performers from the North.

Fantastic theatre with really entertaining shows, expertly mixing classics with new work. A massively under-appreciated gem in Manchester’s city centre and cultural identity.
The Royal Exchange is a purpose-built theatre within the stunning architectural space of Manchester's former cotton exchange.
The performance space is 'in the round', with seating on three levels all offering excellent views.
The productions are wide-ranging in genre and subject matter, and invari
Love the Royal Exchange. We've been a few times and it never disappoints. I'd recommend to anyone to try and visit at least once.
I wasn't much of a theatre goer before and certainly wouldn't have looked at a Shakespeare play but I've seen Macbeth and now Romeo and Juliet and the productions have ju
Not been to the Royal Exchange for a long, long time but it won't be too long before we're back again. Thoroughly enjoyed the "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" performance and the experience of theatre in the round. Forgotten how good it is.
I've seen a few plays & performances over the years, it's a brilliant experience.
But you can also just call in to visit the café and enjoy the architecture and use the loo.
As a recently joined member of the Elders theatre Company, I'm impressed by the dedication of everyone there, great atmosphere in this historic citadel of Drama, drop in! take a look! book a show!
I hasten to add and reiterate the fact that the Royal Exchange is innovative with its "module" theatre
This place never disappoints. A beautiful building, warm, welcoming and really different in design. Brilliant theatre productions at affordable prices. First class theatre entertainment. The Electric rosary production was outstanding, we laughed and cried, brilliant!!
Lovely theatre. Prices for really nasty wine killed the vibe. Need much better quality wine to go with the beautiful theatre. Can't wait to go again.
The building and the theatre itself are wonderful because they're from a time before ultra Liberal wokeism was known.
If you're going to get paper tickets (because your Internet won't work inside the building, despite the control system bathing everyone in 5G radiation) arrive early because some bri
Watched the last night of Betty! A Sort of Musical.
Fantastic show in a fantastic venue. Lucky to be at the same performance as the lady herself - Baroness Betty Boothroyd!
The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester is without a doubt the UK's best theatre. It just is, you can't argue with it. They consistently take strides to reimagine iconic stories and create new ones. I've never seen a production here which isn't daring, exciting and incredibly fresh. The building it
Great Theatre, good restaurant and gift shop, staff very helpful.
This is one of those buildings that if walls could speak....The Octagon Theatre in the centre of the inside of the building holds 700 people and was designed like it is for the acoustic sounds.
We love coming here for a quiet tea and cake whilst out shopping in Manchester. It's in the centre of the city, but never too busy. Very atmospheric with good food and pleasant staff 😁
This beautiful theatre was one of the last stops on our guided tour around the city. Since it was pretty cold outside we decided to book tickets for the show of that afternoon. We had beautiful seats all most on the stage.
The actors are really good and have beautiful voices. The show was really nic
We went to watch my daughters school and 6 other schools perform. The atmosphere was lovely, easy to find, staff were great. Smooth from start to finish.
A few months ago, I went on a special 'Buckt' tour to have a look behind the scenes at this Theater. As someone who has always been into set design and performing it was exciting for me to be walked through a day in the life of the people who set up this wonderful theater. From what I remember, the
🏴Amazing place in Manchester. Basically, a theater has been built inside of the old exchange of Manchester, and there is a special theater. It's a 360 degree theater where in the middle there is the stage. Actors and actresses can enter whichever entrance so, it makes the experience unique. Fu
