London’s newest cultural hotspot, Soho Theatre Walthamstow, officially opens its doors this Friday (May 2nd) with the debut of Natalie Palamides: WEER. Stunning new images reveal the striking restoration of the 1930s Granada cinema which is now a 960-seat venue packed with energy and ambition.
Transformed by Waltham Forest Council in partnership with Soho Theatre, the space combines heritage charm with modern edge. It features four stylish bars, studio spaces, and a restaurant. Expect the buzz of Soho Theatre’s iconic bar, complete with locally brewed Neon lager and Mumbai street food from Curry On Naanstop.
The opening season is stacked: Neon Nights comedy showcases stars like Sara Pascoe, Rosie Jones, and Phil Wang. Meanwhile, big names like Tim Minchin, Dara Ó Briain, and Suzi Ruffell also feature.
To celebrate, 15,000 £15 tickets are being offered to Waltham Forest residents, workers, and students. The venue also launches a vibrant creative programme including drag and comedy workshops, kids’ storytelling, and writing classes for all ages.
