Nottingham Playhouse

A city theatre putting on new plays, family shows and shared double bills. Strong community outreach: Shine sessions across Nottingham neighbourhoods for kids and families. Workshops and Curtain Raisers with local theatre-makers. Occasional clubs and specialist events like the model railway show. Friendly, practical spot for live local culture.

Nottingham Playhouse programmes contemporary theatre alongside family-friendly events and community projects. You’ll find mainstage productions, sharing nights and short runs, plus one-off events such as a Curtain Raiser with William Ivory and a model railway club meet. The venue is active across Nottingham through its Shine network: sessions in Sneinton, Beechdale, Bilborough, St Anns, Carrington, Mansfield and other areas. Expect participatory workshops, youth activity across the academic year and accessible shows for local audiences.
