The Story So Far
For 165 years Castlemaine’s Theatre Royal has faithfully delivered to the community
those things we cherish as part of our daily lives.
Cultural enrichment from this goldfields gem has evolved through its long and colourful
history; from its early days as an auction room, meeting place, purveyor of fine entertainment -
from Lola Montez to touring vaudevillian and theatrical productions, to balloon ascensions,
magic lantern shows and musical soirees – the Theatre Royal has provided continuous
arts and community benefit to an adoring audience.
Today, live music from local and international acts, great films, and warm hospitality
greet patrons to this grand icon of central Victoria, firmly ensconced as a community
hub and the beating heart of Castlemaine itself.
Whilst the venue is wonderfully unique, the constant upkeep provides major challenges
due to the building’s age and heritage listing. With guidance and support from
Heritage Victoria, the Theatre Royal team is doing everything possible to keep this local
institution alive and in sound condition.
They now turn to you to show your support. By becoming a member and making
a contribution, you are a vital part of keeping this place alive.

TERMS & CONDITIONS
Members are entitled to a discount on standard cinema ticket prices (not fundraisers or live events).
Member discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other discount cards.
Discounts and free entries cannot be transferred to non-members. If you do not hold a valid membership card and photo ID, the membership entitlements are not valid. Theatre Royal Castlemaine refuses the right of entry.
Even though your name may be on a seat or couch, we are not in a position to offer any privileges or reserve your seat for you (small biz, lean operation and all that) so we suggest you turn up early to secure your seat/couch at sessions you wish to attend.
Couches will be securely stored away during standing room only events to avoid damage.
Shared sponsorship – Sponsoring a chair will entitle you to one individual membership. Sponsoring a couch will entitle you to a maximum of two membership benefits. Fair use policy applies for discounted ticket usage.
Sponsorship of the seat / couch is valid for a period of 5 years (guaranteed under current business ownership only). After this time the business owners reserve the right to offer sponsorship renewal, with current patrons being offered first right of refusal.
Memberships and Patron Contributions are non-transferable and non-refundable (except as below).
Unless the Loyal Patrons’ sponsorship funds goal for upstairs seating is achieved by (March 27 2020) this project cannot go ahead, and sponsorship monies will be transferred to Loyal Royal membership, with the difference in value ($450) being refunded (unless you are happy for your sponsorship funds to be directed towards other upgrades, eg. improved lighting.)
