And we’ve continued to entertain Hertfordshire for over 55 years.

Did you know that under our floor us a roman mosaic dating from the late 2nd to the early 3rd century unearthed in the ancient ruins of Verulamium
In 1991 the theatre closed for refurbishment and reopened as the Alban Arena, receiving a renovation to it’s box office area to make expand the front of the theatre for the public.
We’ve hosted some of Britain’s best known bands and artists including, The Who, Status Quo, Morecambe and Wise, Dire Straights, The Gorlliaz, Friendly Fires and the late Queen Elizabeth II.
