We’re reviving something special!
When the theatre first opened in 1979, it wasn’t just a venue — it was a community. A place for performers, creatives and audiences to come together, share ideas, and shape what happened on stage.
The Old Red Theatre Club brings that spirit back.
This is a new community for theatre-makers and theatre lovers alike — whether you’re performing, writing, directing, or simply love coming to watch.
By joining, you’ll stay closely connected to everything happening at the theatre, including:
- Early access to tickets and events
- Invitations to workshops and opportunities
- Updates on new productions and programming
- Behind-the-scenes insight into the theatre
👉 It’s your one place to stay in the loop and be part of the journey.
There’s no cost to join — just your email address and permission for us to keep in touch.
Find out how to help support the theatre further down
The Old Red Lion Theatre has always relied on the support of its community.
We’re constantly working to maintain and improve the space — making it a better home for artists, and a better experience for audiences.
If you’d like to go a step further, you can support the theatre through a small monthly contribution.
The Theatre Renovation Fund
This fund directly supports the development and renovation of the theatre — something that’s genuinely needed to keep the space thriving.
Our aim is simple:
- To protect and improve the space
- To support artists creating new work
- To keep the theatre a launchpad for fresh ideas and voices
Even a small monthly contribution makes a real difference.
There’s no contract — you can cancel at any time — but your support helps us continue building something meaningful for performers and audiences alike.
Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep independent theatre alive.
