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.
