Getting Here

The Isaac Theatre Royal is proudly nestled in the heart of Christchurch’s vibrant arts precinct—right alongside The Court Theatre, Te Pae, The Piano, and just a short stroll from the Town Hall. We’re also a stone’s throw from the iconic New Regent Street, where colourful heritage buildings, great food, and buzzing bars make for the perfect pre- or post-show hangout.

Whether you’re arriving by foot, Uber, bus, Lime scooter, or—yes, even a taxi (if you’re feeling retro)—we’re easy to find and hard to miss.
