About The Belgrade Theatre Coventry
As the largest theatre in Coventry and a leading regional producing theatre, the Belgrade has a broad, varied programme.
As a publicly subsidised independent charitable trust, the theatre also supports health, education, and the development of skills and talent within the region. All activities are carried out with, by, and for the local communities.
Led by Interim CEO Neil Murray and Creative Director Corey Campbell, the Belgrade is realising its ambitious plans to build on the Theatre’s rich history of inclusion. Born out of the post-Second World War spirit of peace and reconciliation, and named with gratitude for the Serbian capital’s gift of timber to build a new theatre, the Belgrade has offered a warm welcome to visitors since 1958.
