    The Alhambra Theatre is a theatre in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, named after the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, which was the place of residence of the Emir of the Emirate of Granada. It was built in 1913 at a cost of £20,000 for theatre impresario Francis Laidler, and opened on Wednesday 18 March 1914.

    St George’s Hall is a strategic grade II* listed Victorian building located in the centre of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Originally designed with a seating capacity of 3,500, the hall seats 1,500 people.

    The Studio is a flexible small theatre / rehearsal space adjacent to the Alhambra Theatre main house. … The Studio hosts stand up comedy shows by comedians such as Tom Stade, Paul Foot, Suzi Ruffell and Patrick Monahan.

    King’s Hall and Winter Garden are located in the heart of the picturesque town of Ilkley. The Hall boasts a traditional theatre and, together with the adjacent glass roofed spa Winter Garden, it makes for the perfect location for weddings or social functions.

    King’s Hall and Winter Garden currently hosts a wide range of events and community provision. From a variety of professional productions including enchanting family shows, must-see music concerts and inspiring talks, to local amateur dramatic and performing arts companies, weddings, parties, lifestyle fairs and community events.
