THE STAGE IS SET

The Bridge’s dramatic entrance hall pays testimony to the site’s theatrical roots, a theatre first being built here in 1771.

Almost a century later, Mr Coleman took over the theatre, but it proved to be too small for the extravagant shows that he planned.

He had the building demolished and replaced with an impressive new theatre, opening with Hamlet on 30th September 1866 on one of the largest stages in northern England. Sadly, a fire raged through the building in 1875 and the theatre was never resurrected.

Our team at The Bridge, however, maintains the essence of showtime, setting the stage for the perfect sojourn in Leeds.
