The Orchard Theatre has established itself as one of South East’s leading live entertainment venues. The theatre's comfortable auditorium seats up to 956 audience members, and is fully air-conditioned (for all those blistering summers Dartford is known for).
The theatre's eclectic programme features a wide array of top-quality musicals, drama, comedy, dance, family shows, one-night events, in addition to a world-class pantomime every holiday season (oh yes, it does!).
Orchard West
Orchard West is the temporary venue which will operate during the closure of The Orchard Theatre, for essential works. Orchard West is a fully functional, temporary, enclosed performance space with over 1,000 seats – complete with comfortable seating, heating and cooling systems, access provision and full backstage and front-of-house facilities including indoor toilets and bars.
