About
A valuable asset to the English Riviera, the Babbacombe Theatre in Torquay, is renowned for wowing audiences with their highly acclaimed family variety shows, performed throughout the year by a professional cast.
The venue, originally a concert hall, opened its doors in May 1939, and ever since then the show casts treading the Babbacombe boards have been ENTERTAINING YOU!
Now included in the TripAdvisor’s Hall of Fame the venue continues to be ranked as not only the No1 theatre on the English Riviera, but as the No1 ‘Things to Do’ when visiting the region.
Inspiring audiences to continue to support local venues, is never an easy task, however creating magical memories is what everyone at the Babbacombe Theatre will strive to achieve not only this year but for years to come.
For information, dates, and ticket prices for all the shows programmed, including Starlight please check the venues website, alternatively contact the Box Office.
