OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...
Summer Film Festival
20 July 2026 to 27 June 2026
This summer, the Apollo Theatre will be hosting a week of screenings ending in screaming!
Between Monday 20 July and Saturday 25 July you can catch a classic film every day at 2.00pm. Cinema changed radically between 1942 and 1964. This curated film festival tracks that evolution across six consecutive afternoons. Viewers can watch Hollywood romance dissolve into post-war cynicism, before transforming into sharp British satire and American absurdity.

At 7.30 on Saturday evening, 25 July, dress up in your most outrageous costumes and come along to an interactive screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Plus a special treat on Thursday 23rd at 7pm as we will be screening Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro. Check out our Screenings page
What’s on at The Apollo Theatre in Newport, Isle of Wight
Welcome to the Apollo Theatre
The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatres Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The building was originally a tiny Methodist chapel in Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers under the inspired leadership of John Hancock, whose idea the whole thing was and without whose commitment and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be what we are now – the Island’s premier little theatre. The first productions were put on the Apollo stage in 1972 – and what a long way we’ve come since then!
