Bailey Theatre

Welcome to the main center for Arts & Culture in Trail and the surrounding area. We host a range of events for every age group, from large concerts to smaller performances.

 

Venues & Ticketing Details

The main venue for the Performing Arts in Trail is the beautiful Bailey Theatre. The Bailey hosts concerts, theatre, comedy and more from well-known acts like the Barenaked Ladies to smaller emerging talent such as Lisa Nicole. With a seating capacity of 721, the Theatre has an intimate atmosphere and all seats provide an excellent view of the stage. Smaller performances, events and meetings take place in the Muriel Griffiths Recital Room, next to the theatre, which holds 80-100 people.

The Trail & District Arts Council programs many shows in these two venues, including four exciting series: Classical Series; Jazz at the Griff; Performing Arts Trail, and the Teck Family Series. The Bailey Theatre and Muriel Griffiths Room are also available to rent.

Please note: The Bailey Theatre currently had some major upgrades! Learn more about the renovations here.
