04.01.2022 This year Century Venues secured approval from the NSW Government to undertake the careful removal of waste and non-historic instrusions to enable a close inspection of the underlying historic fabric of the building. Tons of waste and 1980's partitioning have now been taken away revealing beautiful detail on the Dress Circle Juliet Balcony. While more needs to be removed, engineer, acoustic and fire safety experts have been able to inspect the building. Preliminary reports are in and are promising. While much of the building will need upgrading, so far, no major obstacles have been identified that would prevent the Victoria from being revived as a live performance venue.

04.01.2022 The Victoria Theatre is a building of State Importance listed on the NSW State Heritage Register. Century purchased it in 2015 and is committed to reviving the theatre and bringing entertainment back to the stage. This will take time but please follow our story and watch this space for updates and news. http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au//ViewHeritageItemDetails

03.01.2022 Did you know? There have been four Victoria Theatres on three different sites in Newcastle! The first in 1857 was a timber and iron construction on the corner of Watt and Hunter Streets that soon burnt down. The second Victoria was on Market Street and it too only lasted for just a few years, 1870-72. On the current Perkins Street site the third Victoria was built in just nine weeks and opened in 1876. Described as a "wretched apology for a theatre" this building was supersed...ed, thankfully, by the beautiful Victoria we see today when building works commenced in 1890. The Newcastle Herald said at the time, "no expense has been spared in making the theatre the most complete, comfortable, and handsome structure of its size and description in Australia". This Victoria Theatre then underwent a major refurbishment in 1921 to ready it for motion pictures and that was when the current spectacular dress circle was extended. See more
