A new home
for performance.
From parish church to playhouse.
Belsize Theatre was founded in 2025 to bring year-round professional performance to the heart of Hampstead. We occupy the recently restored interior of St Stephen's Church on Pond Street — a Grade I listed Victorian masterpiece by Samuel Sanders Teulon, reimagined for contemporary audiences.
A platform for new work.
To champion new writing and emerging artists; to programme musicals, concerts and comedy of national significance; to build deep community engagement with Hampstead, Belsize Park and Camden; and to make extraordinary work accessible to every audience.
Grade I listed. Fully equipped.
The performance space seats up to 240 in a flexible configuration, with full theatrical lighting, sound and projection installed sympathetically within the Grade I listed interior. Stone arches, original stained glass and oak beams remain at the heart of every performance.
The people behind the curtain.
Help shape what we make.
We rely on the generosity of individual donors, members and corporate partners to programme ambitiously and keep ticket prices accessible.
