About The Pavilion
The Pavilion in Christchurch is a proper theatre - the kind of place where locals actually go, not just tourists ticking boxes. It's a working performance space with a real mix of productions: theatre, comedy, music, pantomime. The building itself is unpretentious, which is refreshing. You're there for what happens on stage, not to Instagram the foyer.
This is squarely for people who want live entertainment without the West End prices or the faffing about. Families with kids will appreciate the pantomime season - Dorset families know it well. Theatre enthusiasts and comedy fans will find decent touring shows pass through regularly. Anyone after a quiet evening out will find it does the job.
Allowing an evening - doors open about 7.30pm for most shows - is the way to approach it. Check their listings online for what's on when you're visiting, because the programme changes constantly. It's free to browse what's coming up.
If you're staying at Sandhills Holiday Park nearby, it's an easy drive into town for an evening out. The Pavilion gives Christchurch a bit of cultural backbone without being pretentious about it. You won't regret catching a show if something catches your eye, but don't make a special trip just for the building itself.
