The curtains will open at Tamworth Assembly Rooms this Saturday (January 18) following a major £5million project to extend, refurbish and modernise the 130-year-old theatre.

The first acts have been booked and tickets are on sale now for the eagerly-anticipated opening season of Tamworth’s new-look, more modern, more state-of-the-art Assembly Rooms theatre and entertainment venue.

A touring digital exhibition showcasing the past, present and future of Tamworth Assembly Rooms has moved to its next location in the town.
The exhibition features old photographs, memories, press cuttings, flyers and historic architect drawings, as well as ambitious redevelopment plans for the iconic theatre’s future.
Members of the public are invited to view the display, which is stored on a tablet, as it tours the town, and share their own memories of the building at the heart of the community.

Take a peek at what's been happening behind the scenes of Tamworth Assembly Rooms' refurbishment.

In the last few weeks it feels like we’ve made good progress on the Assembly Rooms refurbishment project.  Our technical specialists, Adlib, have helped us bring our concepts for improving the technical infrastructure to a completed design and I’ve been telling everyone in the office about how great it’s all going to be.  So they’ve asked me to write a piece for the blog to tell everyone else what’s in the pipeline and why we’re so passionate about it.

We are excited to announce that our touring exhibition is now up and running and touring around Tamworth!

You may have noticed over the past weeks that the exterior walls of The Assems have started to stand out a bit more beneath its currently scaffold cladded façade. Amongst the series of works being undertaken to restore the building, a key focus has been to restore the original stonework. 

Work to restore and regenerate the internal parts of the building have taken a big step in the last couple of weeks, as the historic main auditorium windows have been opened up.

In our last blog we showed you behind the scenes of what the building looked like before the construction team started on site.
