The Globe Theatre is set in the Royal Marine Barracks at Stonehouse. It is a beautiful Victorian theatre that is lovingly maintained and has that old theatre feel. As it is within the barracks you must obtain a ticket by booking prior to arrival, although tickets may be available at the gate. To get to the theatre head for the main Royal Marine Barracks in Durnford Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth. Go past the main gate onto the mini roundabout and turn left into Admiralty Street. This follows the wall of the barracks. At the give way road markings turn sharp left. This is the side entrance to the barracks. Stop and show the guards the tickets. Parking is available behind the theatre.

Plymouth Pavilions

Millbay Road, Plymouth
Plymouth Pavilions is the South West’s leading entertainment, concert, leisure and conference venue – a truly multi purpose complex that provides something for everyone.

Over the years their versatile Arena has hosted an outstanding array of diverse performances, so many to mention – from the comedic hilarity of Billy Connolly to the compelling Philharmonia Orchestra, audiences have played with the Tweenies, been captivated by the Russian Ice Stars, rocked with the biggest stars around and been impassioned by Plymouth Raiders as they battle it out in the British Basketball Championship.

Their Leisure facilities include a Fun Pool, which contains a shipwrecked galleon complete with water canons, a wave machine, waterfalls, jacuzzi and flumes, as well as a fantastic Ice Rink. Both the Pool and Rink provide a number of sessions for all ages and abilities to enjoy. The Family Ice Discos are highly recommended.

Whether you’ve built up an appetite after visiting their Leisure facilities or fancy a quick coffee with friends, the Live Café is on hand to provide snacks and refreshments.
