HQ Theatres About


Our background...

HQ Theatres, (HQT), was set up in 2005 as a joint venture between commercial producers & talent managers Qdos Entertainment Plc and Hetherington Seelig Theatres Ltd which operated the Wycombe Swan Theatre in High Wycombe and The Wyvern Theatre in Swindon.

The profile and experience of the partners created an exciting new theatre operating company.  In 2006, HQT bid for and won the operating contract with Southend Borough Council for the Cliffs Pavilion Southend-on-Sea & the Palace Theatre Westcliff.

In 2007, Qdos acquired Hetherington Seelig Theatres Ltd outright, and HQT become a wholly owned subsidiary of Qdos. Over the next two years HQT bid for and won local authority operating contracts for The Beck Theatre Hayes, The White Rock Theatre Hastings and The Orchard Theatre Dartford.

In 2011, HQT took over the management of the Watford Colosseum, following a major refurbishment, and the newly-built Guildford’s G Live.
