Notting Hill Arts

Why not enjoy a night at one of the great theatres spotted around Notting Hill!

The Coronet Theatre A risk-taking, international theatre in an iconic, Grade II listed building in London’s Notting Hill. Both its programme and the building’s restoration is curated by Artistic Director & CEO Anda Winters. The Coronet Theatre presents an eclectic programme of theatre, film, dance, music, poetry and visual art in its intimate 195-seat main auditorium and 90-seat studio space, re-named The Print Room in recognition of the company’s previous home at a nearby print works. A fusion of multi-disciplinary international and UK work, The Coronet Theatre stages a mix of new productions, commissions and visiting artists, including a number of UK and world premieres. 103 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3LB, 020 3642 6606 www.thecoronettheatre.com/
