Sadler’s Wells is one of the world’s leading dance venues, renowned for its dynamic and diverse productions. Located in Angel, London, the theatre is a creative hub for international and UK-based dance artists. From classical ballet to contemporary performances, Sadler’s Wells showcases innovation and artistic excellence across all styles of movement.

The history of Sadler’s Wells

Sadler’s Wells has a rich history dating back to 1683, when Richard Sadler opened the original music house around a medicinal well. Over the centuries, it evolved from a spa venue to a music hall, and finally, a respected theatre dedicated to dance. The current building, opened in 1998, is the sixth on the site and was purpose-built for dance, offering state-of-the-art acoustics and production facilities.

Over time, the venue has been home to legendary performers and companies such as The Royal Ballet, Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, and Akram Khan Company, reinforcing Sadler’s Wells’ reputation as a centre of excellence for the dance world.
