Welcome to Theatre Porto
We are inspired by childhood and being young – come say hello!
In August 2022, we opened a brand new, specialist theatre and cultural hub in Whitby Park, Ellesmere Port.
The venue is the only one of its kind, in Cheshire and on Merseyside and one of a handful of dedicated theatres in England, specifically ‘for, by and with’ children and young people. Our space is for the young, and for anyone who was once young who wants to connect, play, dream, or imagine.
What's Happening at Theatre Porto
The Shape of My Light
The Shape of My Light is a mobile sculpture co-created by Year 4 and Year 5 pupils from Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School with artist Jake Ryan.
All of Us, Waving
All of Us, Waving brings together artwork created by children from primary schools across Ellesmere Port. Working with Theatre Porto, community artist Jake Ryan, pupils designed flags inspired by what matters most to them as part of the wider school’s art project ‘Through the Eyes of Children’.
Topsy Turvy 2026
Topsy Turvy is back for 2026 – and this year, we’re beginning the countdown to something special. As Theatre Porto heads into our 40th birthday year, we’re inviting children, young people and families to join us in Whitby Park for a joyful, playful, Topsy Turvy celebration.
