There is also an annual pantomime at the theatre that adds to its range of event types. The theatre has a seating capacity of about 1, people. Dartford is a bustling market town; whose history is as old as the Romans. Within the town centre, where the Orchard stands, it becomes the stage for a colourful twice-a-week market.
The Dartford Borough Council built the venue. The Duke of Kent officially opened it on Thursday 14th April There are two balcony levels. So, both accessed from the main foyer, and a flexible stalls area. Accordingly, the stalls area has retractable seating to allow for a forestage, an orchestra pit for up to 50 musicians, or to be used for events.
Also the Orchard Theatre offers a range of event packages including weddings, with capacity for up to guests sitting down for a silver-service dinner in the main auditorium. For those attending the theatre as patrons, and wishing to enjoy a pre-performance dining experience, there is a bar near the large entrance which also serves hot bar snacks which can be ordered up to 20 minutes before a performance. We offer a range of entertainment from leading West End musicals, top comedians, bands, dramas, dance, classical music and opera.
And of course, our ever popular annual pantomimes. Dartford has been a busy market town with a rich history since the Romans.
It plays host to a very popular and vibrant twice-weekly market within the town centre. Since opening, The Orchard Theatre has enjoyed incredible success by opening its doors to some of the biggest and most respected names in the fields of arts and entertainment.
