Maddermarket Theatre occupies Saint John’s Alley in Norwich’s city centre, a short walk from the medieval heart of the city. The theatre has been a fixture of Norwich’s cultural life since its foundation in 1921, when it was established as an experimental playhouse by drama enthusiasts. Today it operates as an independent venue presenting a varied programme of drama, comedy, music and performance art throughout the year.
The alley itself sits between the busier streets of the city centre, making the theatre an intimate destination away from the main shopping routes. Its postal district is NR2 1DR. The venue has established itself as one of Norfolk’s significant independent theatres, drawing audiences from across the region and hosting both established performers and emerging talent.
