A city-centre plan built around an actual Riverfront event and the museum’s opening days.
A performance beside the Usk / NEWPORT
The Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre
Choose an advertised performance, film or creative event and build a city evening around it. The Riverfront is a working arts venue, so the programme should decide the visit rather than an expectation of constant drop-in entertainment. Leave time for food nearby and a relaxed arrival before finding your seats.
Before you go
Book the event first and check its running time and age guidance. General building or box-office hours are not a timetable of performances.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Kingsway, Newport city centre
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Prices and availability depend on the event. Arrange accessible seating and check any companion-ticket eligibility directly with the box office.
- Access and getting around
- Performance spaces have wheelchair access, with specific bookable spaces. Ramped entrances and lifts serve the main levels; the basement differs. Tell the box office about access needs when booking.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Choose a performance or screening appropriate to the children’s ages. Relaxed or interpreted performances are specific dates, not features of every event.
Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
Make it part of your day
Allow the advertised event time plus arrival for the visit, plus travel and breaks. This is a suggested planning allowance; opening times, access and availability may affect your plans.
