‘London’s most relentlessly ambitious theatre’
Time Out
The Gate sits above the Prince Albert pub in Notting Hill, and has been inspiring audiences and artists alike for 35 years. We are a small theatre but we always Think Big.
We are a home for anarchic spirits, invigorating theatre, and restless creative ambition. We welcome anyone who wants to change the world. In our ever transformable, 75 seat space we confront and debate the biggest questions that face humanity and act as a loudspeaker for unheard voices from across the globe. We are known to springboard the most exceptional new talent into becoming the theatre leaders of tomorrow. No two visits to the Gate are ever the same.
