Skipton Little Theatre

The origins of the Skipton Players are unclear. The earliest programme from archive material in our possession, describes a performance of The Barretts of Wimpole Street in 1934, but the Players were probably in existence for a few years before then.

At that time, they were performing in the Town Hall, but they had the not-unreasonable ambition of one day performing in their own theatre. It took many years to achieve, but in 1960, the Players moved into their current home.

The Players have had a long and successful history of entertaining Skipton and surrounding communities.

We welcome many visiting theatre groups and are increasingly a very well-regarded live music venue.

By raising our profile in the area, we can ensure the theatre is still here for future generations to come. The Skipton Players became a Registered Charity (no. 1215103) in September, 2025.

We produce 5 plays each season and opening times are Evening: 7.30pm. Saturday Matinee: 2.00pm
