The Wyvern Theatre opened in 1971 and is Swindon's principal venue for live performance — a 635-seat auditorium that receives touring productions from the West End, comedy shows, and occasional concerts. The programme is mainstream rather than experimental, but it runs year-round and the quality is generally high.
If you're in Swindon for a night, checking what's on at the Wyvern is worth doing. The theatre is centrally located and easy to reach from most parts of town.
