Contact Theatre

Contact Theatre, Oxford Road, Manchester, M15 6JA – Visit Now

The £7m refurbishment of Contact was completed last summer, paving the way for a whole new run of theatre productions and performances in 2021. Following this major redevelopment, the iconic venue on Oxford Road will be reopening its doors and welcoming the public back into the building this autumn, for what promises to be an incredible reopening season.

Boasting new facilities and a phenomenal reopening programme of live performance, screenings, exhibitions and visual art, we’re thrilled that Contact is back to support and inspire the next generation of audiences and young artists.

The new space houses a state-of-the-art recording studio, multiple performance and rehearsal spaces, and a dedicated, first-of-its-kind art and health area. The renovation has also improved the venue’s accessibility, upgraded the theatre and made the building more environmentally sustainable. The venue’s makeover was overseen by Con:Struct, a team of bright young sparks who were involved in the renovation from the start – a testament to Contact’s ethos of placing young people at the heart of its decision making.

Contact have also partnered with Chaat Cart, Manchester’s Indian street food heroes, who will be resident in the new building’s bar and café. So whether you’re picking up a pre-show dosa, enjoying drinks after the performance or relaxing with a coffee, they’ve got you covered.

Contact has always been the place for emerging theatre, dance, spoken word, hip hop and digital performance mash-ups, and we’re elated to see them back doing what they do best.
