Tom Thumb Theatre

Visit one of the smallest theatres in the world, a unique dose of Margate.

The Tom Thumb Theatre was originally built as a coach house in Victorian times, the building was transformed into one of the smallest theatres in the world in 1984. A striking mix of Japanese and Alpine Architecture, with a quirky, charming interior of velvet seats and flocked wallpaper. The family run venue programmes an innovative mix of cutting-edge theatre, off-beat comedy and wayward sounds (from Bluegrass to brand new bands.)

There is a remshackle bar upstairs for a pre-show drink or post-show tipple, with cocktails out of jam-jars and a selection of local ales.
