Their- possessive of They
There- in that place
They're- contraction of They Are.
Simple.

# Use there when referring to a place, whether concrete ("over there by the building") or more abstract ("it must be difficult to live there").
* There is an antique store on Camden Avenue.
* The calculus books are over there on the floor.
# Use their to indicate possession. It is a possessive adjective and indicates that a particular noun belongs to them.
* My friends have lost their tickets.
* Their things were strewn about the office haphazardly.
# Remember that they're is a contraction of the words they and are. It can never be used as a modifier, only as a subject (who or what does the action) and verb (the action itself).
* Hurry up! They're closing the mall at 6 tonight!
* I'm glad that they're so nice to new students here.

Their (posessive, a group of people own's something)
It is Their House.
There (directional, used to give someone/something direction).
Put the vase over there.
They're (used to describe a group breaks into they are)
They're late for the conference.
Used together:
They're running late for the conference; Perhaps their car had trouble? Oh! I see them, over there.

The word Their means two people posessing something. There means a place or direction. They're is from the contraction of they and are all it means is a short form of they are

1. Their shows possesion like their clothes
2. There is a place like the party is over there
3. They're is short for they are so they're really short.

Their means 'belonging to them'. Eg The towel is theirs.
There means in relation to a place or a location. Eg The towel is over there.
They're is an abbreviation of 'they are'. They're going home. (They are going home).

their - belonging to them "the twins game a card to their mother"
there - indicating a direction or place "the fair is over there"
they're - short for 'they are'
so to put all three together......
"look, there's Take That, they're playing with their dongs"
