Lawrence Batley Theatre

Lawrence Batley Theatre is a performance venue at Queen's Square in Huddersfield housed in a former chapel building. It offers a main auditorium and a studio space that accommodate theater productions, dance performances, and musical events throughout the year.

The building was originally constructed in 1819 as a Methodist chapel serving the local community for over a century. In the late 1900s it underwent major renovation and conversion to become a performance venue with contemporary facilities.

The venue takes its name from Lawrence Batley, a local arts patron who supported cultural initiatives in the region. Today it serves as a gathering place where performers and audiences connect through theater, dance, and music.

The theater is conveniently located in Huddersfield's city center and easily accessible on foot. Check the official website before visiting to find current event listings and any special access information.

The building retains original Victorian-era architectural details from its Methodist chapel days, including columns and decorative elements throughout the space. These historic features create an unexpected setting where historic elements sit alongside contemporary stage performances.
