Castle Theatre

Castle Theatre is an arts centre and performance venue in Wellingborough with two separate theatre spaces designed for different types of shows. The building also houses rehearsal rooms, dance studios, an art gallery, and exhibition areas.

The theatre opened in 1995 on the site of the former Wellingborough Cattle Market, transforming a market space into a cultural venue. This conversion marked an important change for how the local community would experience arts and entertainment.

The venue functions as a gathering place where local performers and audiences experience dance companies, choirs, and amateur theatre groups. People use the space to share their own work and create common cultural experiences together.

The venue is straightforward to navigate and offers cafes and bars for visitors before or after attending a show. It makes sense to arrive early so you can browse the gallery and exhibition spaces before your performance starts.

The main theatre space can be reconfigured depending on what is needed and sometimes becomes a standing concert venue. This flexibility allows the space to host different kinds of live music and performances that traditional theatres cannot easily accommodate.
