About

Mark a milestone at Theatre Royal Wakefield‘s Gala Night: 40 Years Reimagined!


One unforgettable evening. A century of stories.

Join the Theatre Royal team for a glittering night of performances from past and present alumni, many who are now stars of the stage, honouring the legacy and future of Wakefield’s historic theatre.
