Theatre, Music and Cinema

Theatres & Music
York Theatre Royal
York Theatre Royal has been producing theatre in the heart of the city for over 250 years. First founded in 1744, the then called, New Theatre, was established by Mrs Keregan, who inherited the theatre company from her husband, Thomas Keregan. The Theatre became Royal upon the grant of a Royal Patent in 1769, costing the then theatre manager, Tate Wilkinson, £500, a huge amount in those days.

The National Centre for Early Music, York
The National Centre for Early Music is created from the medieval church of St Margaret's - an important historic church, which lies within the City Walls and which was empty since the 1960s. Used as a theatrical store by the York Theatre Royal up until 1996, St Margaret's was one of the last two churches in the city of York that remained un-restored.
