Tyne Theatre and Opera House is celebrating its 155-year anniversary.

One of the ways is through a new façade revamp.

Canopy cleaning, fresh painting and new signing has left the venue sparkling.

The Grade 1 listed theatre was designed by industrialist and politician Joseph Cowen in 1867.

Since those early beginnings, the Tyne has also thrived as a cinema for several decades across the mid-1900s before returning to its original function in the 80s.

The Theatre is heading into its busiest season.
