The Unicorn Theatre is a historic, Elizabethan-style theatre located in Abingdon, within the medieval Abbey Buildings, which were saved by the community and converted into a cultural venue after the Abbey's dissolution. Opened in 1953 for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the intimate, steep, and atmospheric theatre is used by local groups for performances, including the Abingdon Drama Club and the Studio Theatre Club. It's a Grade I listed building known for its unique setting and historic significance, though accessibility can be limited.
