Royal Court Liverpool

Former Event  Theatre

The much loved and familiar cast and Theatre is a firm favourite with Culture Calendar Members, and like many, we return regularly to enjoy their Liverpool themed performances and more. 

Long before the Royal Court Theatre (Grade II Listed) opened its doors in 1938, Cookes Amphitheatre of Arts occupied this site from 1826, but a fire destroyed the original building 1933, and it was 5 years before The Royal Court as we know it now was opened.

Having taken the informative backstage tour we know so much more about the Art Deco design of the building, and we better understand the nautical themed basement, which resembles The Cunard Liner, The Queen Mary.  However, we are yet to meet resident ghost, and former caretaker, Les.
