The Spa

Recommended by Visit England Logo
Overview
Bridlington’s much loved variety palace was built in 1896 to entertain hordes of Victorian tourists, and once included a theatre, concert hall, bandstand and refreshment rooms. The theatre burned down in 1906, so the current Spa Theatre and Opera House was built in 1907. Magnificently refurbished in the 21st century, today it hosts a wide range of public performances, concerts, theatre, opera and public dances.
Location
South Marine Drive, BRIDLINGTON, YO15 3JH
About the area
Yorkshire’s East Riding is the only one left of a trio of ‘ridings’ which existed up until 1974. The North and West are gone, to be replaced by North, South and West Yorkshires.
