The brand new bar and café at His Majesty’s Theatre, The Terrace, will open on Saturday, December 3 in time for the first performance of this year’s high-flying pantomime, The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan.
Bookings for The Terrace are now open for diners to complement and enhance their theatre experience with light lunches before a matinee or meals with an evening show. The new-look eatery will be open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am – 9pm for mid-morning coffee, brunch and light bites into the evening.
Aberdeen Performing Arts Director of Marketing and Communications, Leah Hodder, said: “We are so thrilled to be opening The Terrace on 3 December. Bookings are open for the festive season and beyond into 2023, so if you have a trip to His Majesty’s planned, now is your chance to book a meal at The Terrace to complete your visit to our beautiful theatre – we can’t wait to open the doors and get started.”
The Terrace will have a focus on fresh ingredients offering a delicious menu and seasonal specials. Diners might also be treated to themed references celebrating the magic of the shows appearing at His Majesty’s throughout the year.
Funding for The Terrace redevelopment was made available through Scottish Enterprise and Aberdeen City Council as part of the recovery and rebuilding stimulus after the pandemic, to increase circulation space and improve customer experience.
The £675,000 project includes the removal of the central foyer staircase to create an open, bright and welcoming new space, a bold extension of the mezzanine out to the glass frontage, creating more space and fantastic views of Union Terrace Gardens, new built-in booths and flexible seating, with improved circulation and more tables and a new event space for more exclusive gatherings and parties.
Starring former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and Dancing on Ice finalist Brendan Cole, panto dame extraordinaire Alan McHugh, comic actor and River City star Paul J Corrigan and Aberdonian performer Danielle Jam and featuring amazing special effects, stunning sets, beautiful costumes and barrel-loads of laughter, The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan will take your whole family on a swashbuckling trip to Neverland like never before. It will be brought to our audiences by the world’s biggest pantomime producer,
