Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Bucks County Playhouse

70 S. Main St.

New Hope, PA 18938

Located in downtown New Hope along the Delaware River, the Playhouse sits about 40 miles northeast of Philadelphia, making it an easy cultural getaway.

• Parking: Limited on-site parking; several paid public lots nearby; street parking is available but fills quickly, especially on weekends.
• Public Transit: SEPTA bus service to New Hope; nearest train stations are in Doylestown and Trenton, with taxi or rideshare from there to the venue.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated drop-off/pickup area near the main entrance on S. Main St.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime. This window gives you time to park or navigate rideshare drop-off, pick up concessions, and enjoy the riverside deck before settling in. Street and lot parking can be competitive on weekends, so build in extra time if your performance coincides with busy hours downtown.

While the auditorium is indoors, the Playhouse’s riverside deck is open-air and weather-dependent. On clear evenings, the Delaware River views are especially scenic at sunset—arriving early ensures you can take advantage of this pre-show perk and avoid a last-minute rush. Cell service is generally good, but can be spotty in parts of the building, so consider downloading your mobile tickets ahead of arrival.

The approach from nearby lots is mostly flat and requires minimal walking. If you’re using public transit via Doylestown or Trenton rail connections, plan for a short taxi or rideshare to the venue and account for weekend traffic in New Hope’s bustling downtown.

Venue Navigation

Inside, the Playhouse’s single-level auditorium makes navigation simple—most guests move directly from the lobby into the Orchestra seating area. You’ll find restrooms, a coat check, and an ATM in the lobby, along with show merchandise and souvenirs.

Concessions serve snacks, beverages, and a selection of local wines and craft beers, perfect for a pre-show toast or intermission refresh. Step onto the riverside deck before curtain for fresh air and river views, then head to your reserved seats for an intimate performance with clear sightlines across the house.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Small bags and purses are allowed; large backpacks and suitcases are prohibited.
• Prohibited Items: Outside food and drink, large bags, weapons, recording devices, and flash photography are not permitted.
• Re-entry Policy: Generally not permitted except for emergencies; check with the box office for specific events.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early on weekends to secure parking and enjoy the riverside deck at sunset.
• If you prefer center seating, check availability early—Bucks County Playhouse upcoming events can sell popular sections quickly.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to enjoy the Playhouse’s riverside deck—its scenic perch over the Delaware River is a relaxing prelude to curtain. If you’re planning a special outing, check the Bucks County Playhouse schedule and align your plans with seasonal productions or festival dates.

Coordinating with a group? Decide on a meeting point in the lobby or on the riverside deck before the show. With reserved seating and a compact layout, it’s easy to regroup after concessions or merchandise browsing. If you’re driving, consider reserving extra time for parking in nearby public lots, especially on weekends.

For an extended day out, explore downtown New Hope’s galleries, shops, and parks before your performance. You can also combine your show with a meal at one of the excellent nearby restaurants listed below for a seamless evening.
