EDEN COURT THEATRE INVERNESS

The Eden Court Theatre is a theatre, cinema and arts venue recently refurbished with an extension added, providing a second theatre, two cinema screens, two dance or performance studios, upgraded dressing rooms and extra office space. Also revamped were the restaurant and bar facilities, making the theatre a top class entertainment venue. The theatre can be found on Bishops Road in Inverness.

The story of the Eden Court Theatre
Built next to the Ness River, the Eden Court was opened on the 15th of April, 1976. The opening marked a date for the return of modern performance theatre to Inverness, which had been deprived for the last five years, since the Empire theatre was demolished in 1971.  The grand reopening of the Eden Court in November 2007 meant that Inverness became the host of the biggest combined arts centre in Scotland. The reopened theatre has two auditoriums, the main one renamed after the Empire theatre, while the second is called the One Touch Theatre, with 270 seats.

What can you see at the Eden Court Theatre?
The refurbishment and expansion of the venue make it ideal for a variety of entertainment mediums, including cinema, dance and music performances. The Scottish Chamber Orchestra has been known to perform there, as well as top class ballets  and touring shows. The cinema has a wide variety of films showing, so you should be able to find something to your liking. There are great restaurants in the area, so you can arrange to have dinner before taking in a show, making for a great day out in the town of Inverness.

Visiting the Eden Court is only one of the many holiday activities available when visiting Inverness. Basing yourself at a local hotel, such as the Glen Mhor, allows you to enjoy meals in the hotel or at one of the local restaurants, and go explore the surrounding area during the day. There is plenty to see, including the world famous Loch Ness.
