Located in the centre of the popular North Norfolk seaside town of Sheringham, Sheringham Little Theatre is aptly named since it features the smallest stage in a professional theatre in the country. With only 180 seats this much loved Sheringham institution offers a refreshingly intimate experience in these times when most theatres, cinemas and auditoriums are adopting a ‘bigger is better’ approach. Formerly a library and then a Town Hall, the building saw its first arts and craft exhibition held in 1902, in aid of the fishing boat disaster fund. This opened the floodgates for all manner of concerts, receptions, lectures, dances, political meetings and fund raising events. Operating as a cinema throughout and after World War I, the stage was built up in the early 1960s and the theatre started to become the establishment it is today.
Lottery-funded modernisation in the mid-1990s, exterior makeovers in 2004 and 2005 and, most recently, refurbishment to The Hub coffee bar in 2007 have ensured that the Theatre remains a popular and essential treasure within the community of Sheringham and beyond.
Today, Sheringham Little Theatre hosts one of the last surviving summer repertory seasons, along with live music events, musical theatre, workshops and courses, comedy, films, art exhibitions and drama groups throughout the year.
Box Office open Mon-Sat 10am-6pm.
