What's On? AW/26 at Theatre Porto

16/09/2026

Sprinkles, smiles and a well-poured latte ☕

There's something about a slice of homemade school cake and a good cup of coffee that just makes the day better. Whether you're popping in for a quick catch-up, seeing a show or celebrating after completing park run we've got the treats to match.

Come say hi - we'd love to see you! 💚

Starting from Monday - we’ll now be open Tuesday- Saturday.

Back open on Mondays in October!

Thanks for your understanding 💚

Heads up, lovely customers of Ground Up Cafe at Theatre Porto 💚

We’ll be closed on Mondays for the rest of September while we sort out some staff shortages behind the scenes. We’d rather take a short pause than compromise on the warm, unhurried experience you come here for.

We’ll be back to our usual hours on Tuesday and normal Monday service resumes in October.

Thanks for bearing with us - see you Tuesday–Saturday ☕️

After last week’s Family Hangout at the Ellesmere Port Market, we know you’ll all be keen to get back to Theatre Porto!

Just a heads-up that there is NO FAMILY HANGOUT this Saturday, 5 September. After a hugely busy summer, we’re taking one week off before getting back into our regular Saturday rhythm.

We hope you’ve all had a brilliant first week back at school, work and everything else September brings.

Family Hangout returns to Theatre Porto on Saturday 12 September, 10am–12noon – and then continues every Saturday morning all the way up to Christmas.

Come and hang out in the café, kick-start the weekend with games, crafts and story-exploring, and maybe grab a hot drink and a slice of cake while you’re here.

FREE
All ages
No booking required – just turn up and join in.

See you back in the building on Saturday 12 September!
