Empire Consett is a popular venue in the heart of Consett, presenting live theatre shows ranging from comedy and children’s plays, to classical ballets and live music. The Empire’s cinema screens the latest blockbusters and family films.
Temporary closure
We are currently closed for essential roof maintenance works.
Due to the nature of the works and health and safety regulations, it is not possible for any area of the building, including Empire Lounge, to remain open to the public during this time.
Online and telephone bookings will not be affected, and a temporary Box Office at The Lodge in Blackhill & Consett Park for in-person bookings (card payments only) is open whilst we’re closed from 10.00am to 4.00pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
We will reopen in Autumn 2024 following completion of the works in time for our autumn programme of events including Leah Bell’s magical panto Cinderella.
Thanks for your understanding.
