Gardyne Theatre

The Gardyne Theatre sits in Tayport, a modest venue that punches above its weight when it comes to programming. It's the sort of place where you might catch a touring production one week and a local amateur dramatics group the next - and that's rather the point. The intimate setting means there's real connection between stage and audience, no endless rows of empty seats or blurry sightlines.

You'll find everything from theatre and comedy to music and children's shows depending on what's on during your visit. The programme changes regularly, so worth checking ahead. It's not a grand affair - this is community theatre at heart - but that's exactly why people who live round here rate it. No pretension, proper engagement with what's happening on stage.

Local families and anyone after a night out will find it more welcoming than the big regional theatres. Kids' shows pop up regularly, and the ticket prices won't leave you wincing. Give yourself an evening if you're catching a show, though most productions are a couple of hours including interval.

If you're based at Tayport Links Caravan Park or Larick Campsite - both just a short drive away - it's the obvious choice for an evening's entertainment. Tayport itself has a seafront and decent enough pubs and fish and chip shops for pre-show dinner. The theatre's close enough to walk from either campsite if you fancy the stroll along the coast.
