The box office is open 90 minutes before the first performance of the day begins.
The theatre is open for performances up to 90 minutes before the show begins. Patrons are usually able to take their seats in the auditorium 30 minutes before curtain up.
The glass walls of the venue offer excellent views over Princess Pier, so it is worth arriving early to enjoy a drink and take in the sights before a show.
Like several other ATG venues, the Princess Theatre now hosts pizzeria Pizza Al Teatro on-site. This is a great option for pre-theatre dining as you don't have to worry about rushing to the venue after dinner! Their menu offers a range of sourdough pizzas, mezze platters and salads.
Other bars are available throughout the auditorium offering wines, beers, spirits, soft-drinks and snacks before the performance and during the interval.
There is no cloakroom at the theatre, and visitors are advised to bring bags and coats small enough to take into the auditorium.
On The Rocks is a casual café-bistro serving a variety of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. Visitors can enjoy a pre-show meal before walking around 10 minutes along the seafront to the theatre. Also within walking distance is Michelin-starred The Elephant Restaurant, which focuses on seasonal à la carte, lunch and tasting menus.
There are a variety of grand Victorian-era hotels on the seafront, including The Imperial Torquay, for those looking for an upmarket option. If you prefer cheap, convenient and comfortable accommodation, Travelodge is 18 minutes from the theatre on the number 12 bus.
