Belvoir St Theatre

On any given night at Belvoir St Theatre, you’ll find about three different generations of theatre-goers under the one roof, and all of them are looking to get something different out of the experience.

Belvoir has called this former tomato sauce factory in Surry Hills home since 1985, in which time it has grown to be one of Australia’s most beloved theatre companies. It has persevered through everything that’s been thrown at the arts over the past few decades to land at the forefront of Australian storytelling – and yet, Belvoir still belongs as much to its local neighbourhood and the niche communities it draws in as it does to the world stage.

At Belvoir’s home, you can catch an eclectic range of plays, with the mainstage season playing in the 350-seat Upstairs Theatre, while the more intimate 80-seat Downstairs Theatre platforms independent and emerging artists under the Belvoir 25A banner.

How to get to Belvoir St Theatre

The theatre is close to heaps of public transport options. It's a five-minute walk from Central Station (take the Devonshire St/Chalmers St exit), a five-minute walk from Surry Hills Tram Stop, and approximately seven-minutes uphill walk from Chalmers Street Tram Stop. Buses also stop nearby along Chalmers St, Elizabeth St and Cleveland St. Find out more about travel and accessibility options over here.
