Artistic Director Hamish Glen takes courage from Coventry’s history of resilience as the theatre looks to the future.
Thank you on behalf of the Belgrade and all its staff, for the many messages of support, the donations and the goodwill that you’ve shown us since we were forced to temporarily close our doors to the public in March. It’s been a welcome reminder of the special part the Belgrade plays in the lives of so many, and the important hub our building is in the heart of Coventry.

Theatres, just like football clubs and churches, provide a vital role in giving all of us somewhere to gather as a community; to share our stories and to experience events together - a human instinct as old as time - so it’s only natural that we feel a sense of loss just now.
Staying connected is important, so please do follow our social media channels and visit the Between Stages page on our new website – where you will find lots of things to do and watch, that we hope entertains and engages you during the summer months.
Coventry has a long history of resilience and its ability to adapt and overcome challenges remains at the heart of our identity. We lean on this resilience now and take courage from it as we pull together and continue to sow seeds for the future.
It’s important, I believe, to keep looking ahead to better days, and with that in mind we’ve put our new Autumn Season on sale, we’re continuing with our exciting 2020 Redevelopment Project and we have UK City of Culture next year to look forward to.
