Spilsby Theatre        

 

In 2011 Spilsby Theatre had been closed for more than 2 years.

 

In 2013 myself and fellow performer Jane Scott were awarded the East Lindsey Culture in the Community Award and The Community Champions Award for reviving the Spilsby Theatre with a programme of music, community events and theatre.

 

Neither of us had run a venue before, we didn't know the locality at all, and we began with nothing more than a set of keys and some dreams! So we were chuffed with our award!

 

Behind the scenes the theatre had problems. The building, a grade II listed former courthouse (Spilsby's Sessions House), was in serious need of maintenance.  In 2015 the auditorium had to close due to structural issues with the roof.  

​

Spilsby Session House is now working on a major restoration project that will transform the theatre into Community Arts facility.
