It was reopened in 1999 after extensive restoration, and now hosts major touring plays, musicals, ballets, operas and stand-up comedy, as well as serving as the Northern base for Glyndebourne Touring Opera. Part of Ambassadors Theatre Group, the Regent offers workshops and summer schools to the local community.
