Nurturing imagination and talent to produce excellence.
ABOUT US
Welcome to The Angles Theatre
We are a charity and cultural hub for our community, driven by passion for the work we showcase, the people we work with and the audiences that come through our door each season.
Situated in Fenland, our history dates back to the early 1700’s believed to have been built as part of the Lincoln theatre circuit.
This Georgian playhouse and arts venue, with two studios and bar space, is staffed almost entirely by volunteers, from the box office and bar, to backstage, administration and day-to-day accounting. Our volunteer community is one of our proudest achievements.
The Angles Theatre is part of a collection of local tourist trails and a main attraction when visiting the town.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
