The New Wolsey Theatre in Ipswich, Suffolk, is a regional theatre with a history dating back to 1979. Originally constructed as a civic theatre, it underwent significant redevelopment in 2009, resulting in a flexible studio space alongside its main auditorium. The theatre is noted for its commitment to producing diverse work, encompassing musicals, plays – often new writing – and family shows. It also hosts touring productions and live music events.

The venue’s architecture is modern, designed to facilitate both proscenium arch presentations and more intimate, in-the-round configurations. The New Wolsey Theatre actively engages with the local community through outreach programs and educational initiatives. It operates as a registered charity dedicated to providing accessible arts experiences. Polly Gibbons is scheduled to perform at the theatre on November 7th, 2026.
