Welcome to The Pearly Queen Theatre at The Bow Bells – East London’s newest fringe theatre, right at the heart of where it matters. A 50-seat venue set to become a bold, inclusive cultural hub for connection, creativity, and stories that refuse to be quiet.
Located above an iconic, independent, family-run boozer with over 150 years of history, we’re proud to present theatre, live music, comedy, poetry, and special events in an intimate setting. We’re passionate about collaborating with local artists and emerging talent, offering a platform for one-off productions, short runs, workshops, and rehearsals. Join us to take risks, experiment, and bring your ideas to life.
We’re proud and delighted to play a part in the rich history of the East End and this one-of-a-kind pub, shaped by the resilience and reinvention of the communities that have called it home. Here, we honour its colourful past while contributing to its bright future.
