NURSERY SHOWS
There’s nothing more exciting than a day at the theatre. We bring stories to life on stage with productions happening throughout the school year.
School Visits
Throughout the year we offer lots of creative learning opportunities for students of all ages. Your class can experience a live theatre show, enjoy world-class art exhibitions, or enjoy a creative workshop led by professional artists.
When it comes to bringing a lesson alive, The Market Place Theatre, Armagh is the place to be. We’ve welcomed thousands of school children to the Market Place Theatre, so if you haven’t been to visit us yet here are a few ideas of how to get the most from your Market Place Theatre visit.

Our Magical Furry-Tale Pantomime Adventure for 2025
Be our guest this Christmas at The Market Place Theatre’s festive pantomime spectacular, ‘Beauty And The Beast’. Prepare yourself for a tale as old as time, but told in a way you won’t have seen the like of before!
Can Belle save the day before the last petal falls from the enchanted rose? Join our heroine as she tries to break the Wicked Fairy’s curse and escape the castle of the ‘monstrous’ Beast… but is he really as bad as he seems? There’ll be Talking Teapots, Singing Candlesticks, Dancing Dogs and a bunch of Wily Wolves to deal with, but with your help, can Belle REVERSE THE CURSE?
Beauty And The Beast will be sure to make you laugh, sing, shout and cheer as you fall in love with a host of hilarious (and hairy) characters. Get ready for magic, music and mayhem aplenty, all rolled up in one action-packed show that’s sure to be simply the beast!!
