Riverside Theatre Coleraine Information

The Riverside Theatre venue is an intimate 278 – 350 seat auditorium offering a vast annual programme, for children and adults, of comedy, dance, music, drama and art. The Riverside is unique, in a Northern Ireland context, by having both a totally variable stage and seating facility. Overall, Riverside’s main auditorium can be configured and used in up to six different ways – hence our claim to uniqueness in an NI context. In proscenium arch format Riverside can accommodate 270 seats: in thrust, this increases to 350. Both formats include special designated areas for wheelchair users. There are also a number of other spaces available in the building for smaller functions and events, namely the Café / bar areas and rehearsal room. The Riverside is fully licensed for wedding ceremonies and civil partnerships. We can cater for drinks receptions, stunning wedding breakfasts and celebratory receptions and canapés in our theatre building or can advise on additional large spaces available on the University Campus for more formal sit-down dining. To enquire about hosting your wedding at the Riverside, contact the Theatre Manager Roseanne on r.sturgeon@ulster.ac.uk.
