As the largest theatre in Coventry and a leading regional producing theatre, the Belgrade has a broad, varied programme.
Popular musicals and entertainment sit happily alongside progressive, critically acclaimed new drama. Our two spaces, B1 and B2, stage exciting productions and events for families, couples, individuals, first timers and confirmed theatregoers.
As a publicly subsidised independent charitable trust, we also support health and education and build skills and talent in the region. Everything we do is with, by and for our local communities.
Some of our productions are fresh takes on well-loved stories. Others explore new ground – and have never been told before. To them all, we bring warmth, openness and collaboration, creating new community connections and encouraging different perspectives. By sharing the city’s diverse stories, the Belgrade brings people in Coventry together. We call this co-creation.
Led by CEO Laura Elliot and Creative Director Corey Campbell, the Belgrade is realising its ambitious plans to build on the Theatre’s rich history of inclusion. Born out of the post-Second World War spirit of peace and reconciliation, and named with gratitude for the Serbian capital’s gift of timber to build a new theatre, the Belgrade has offered a warm welcome to visitors since 1958.
Whether you’re visiting the Belgrade for a show, a business event, or simply for tea, cake and a chat with friends, this unique sense of welcome is still unmissable.
OUR VISION …
We will be a co-created theatre, where diversity powers storytelling. As a ‘Stage for Coventry’, we will create theatre with, by and for the city and region, and share it with the world.
OUR MISSION …
To lead a people-first, creative powerhouse, providing transformative experiences, diverse storytelling, mutual learning and enrichment.
OUR VALUES …
ACTING TOGETHER: We believe by collaborating and co-creating, we’ll be greater than the sum of our parts, working collectively to the power of Coventry’s people.
COME AS YOU ARE: We believe in providing an inclusive experience to ensure everyone who encounters us can do so as themselves, and that lived experience empowers the LIVE experience.
ALWAYS EVOLVING: we believe in learning and ambition. Each step we take propels the next, and every exit can become a new entrance.
The Belgrade Theatre is committed to reducing our carbon footprint. 100% of our electricity supply is backed by renewable energy.
