Housed in what was Grantham’s guildhall, jail and sessions hall (see Guildhall History) the Arts Centre is part of Cultural Services provided by South Kesteven District Council (SKDC) along with Stamford Arts Centre and The Bourne Corn Exchange.
Our venue is predominantly a receiving theatre where we bring in professional touring shows and also hire the venue out to professional shows. In addition, Grantham has a thriving amateur scene and several groups from the area hire the venue for their productions.
We produce one show of our own a year - our annual Christmas pantomime, in association with director Douglas Gorin - which is now in its 16th year.
Alongside the shows, the Arts Centre is also a hub for workshops and community activities. We offer several workshops for a range of ages (see Regular Workshops) and our rooms are in constant use by businesses, organisations and individuals for meetings, workshops, fairs, conferences and parties (see Facilities).
Our Box Office is also the Tourist Information Centre for Grantham and our staff provide both box office and tourist information services.
