New Wimbledon Theatre has been an iconic landmark in Wimbledon Town Centre since 1910, with a year-round programme of musicals, comedy, family entertainment, dance, drama and our legendary annual pantomime. In March 2024 we hosted Sir Ian McKellen and the premier performance of Player Kings. We are also home to the Studio, where development work from new writers, comedians, directors and producers brings our former ballroom to life, including the annual From the Fringe season hosting companies warming up for Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe.

We are a popular choice for film makers, hosting as the backdrop for series and films including The Crown, Misbehaviour, The Nevers and a Vogue photoshoot with Kylie Minogue.
