Princess Theatre Torquay
The Princess Theatre Torquay is the largest venue in the wider Torbay area with a seating capacity of over 1,500. Originally opening in 1961, the ambience and experience was given an upgrade in Spring 2024 with a modernising but sympathetic refurbishment scheme. The £750,000 programme included updates to the auditorium seating, carpets and front of house areas. Brintons were pleased to design and supply the custom Axminster carpet for the auditorium and a stock carpet design for the front of house spaces.
Being right on Torquay's seafront the theatre was keen to take design inspiration from the ocean. The colours and shapes used represent the waves, with the curved line work and swirls paying homage to the 1960s architecture. Gold highlights were used to elevate the design and add elegance to the seated auditorium.
