Grand Opening

The Empire Theatre

Rotherham

Here is the big news you’ve all been waiting for!

Soul Rotherham have been asked to do the GRAND OPENING of the newly renovated, beautiful and historic ‘Empire Theatre’ on Ship Hill in Rotherham. The Empire has been brought back to life for the people of Rotherham as a Community Arts and Music Venue.

We are so proud and honoured to open The Empire with an all-dayer on 16th November 2025, 12pm to 10.30pm. Come listen to those memories!

We expect this to be the biggest Northern Soul event in Rotherham for well over 30 years, since Clifton Hall days. We have an amazing line up of 11 DJs as well as a Dance Competition.

We do expect it to sell out with 800 tickets available.

Tickets are available online at

Again, we will be supporting our chosen charity, Rotherham Hospice.

We are going to advertise this nationally but we want as many local people to attend as possible.

Wow, who would have thought this would happen, just seven soul brothers from Rotherham reunited by one.

Thank you all for your continued support

Ticket 🎫 price is £15 plus a £1.91 admin fee.

Tickets will be available to purchase at our earlier event at the Phoenix Pavilion on Saturday the 11th October.
