Theatre By The Lake

The Drama of the Lakes

“It would be hard to find a more picturesque setting for a theatre than on the shores of Derwentwater in the Lake District National Park” The Daily Telegraph

Situated at the side of Derwentwater, Theatre by the Lake stages a full programme of events, throughout the year, in one of the most beautiful locations in Britain.

Theatre by the Lake is Cumbria’s only year-round theatre.  Alongside hosting a wide range of visiting drama, music, dance, talks, comedy and film, the theatre also offers a Summer Season of six eclectic plays, a Christmas show and an Easter production.

Additional regular features in the theatre’s year include the Keswick Film Festival in February, the Literature Festival in March and the Keswick Jazz Festival in May.  

Theatre by the Lake offers easy access for all its users.  There are lifts to all levels and wheelchair users can get to all front-of-house and backstage areas.  Both auditoria have enhanced-hearing and induction loop systems.  As well as being one of the newest theatres in the United Kingdom, Theatre by the Lake is also one of the most accessible.

Theatre by the Lake is open daily for ticket sales and free exhibitions in its Mezzanine and Circle galleries, showing the works of both local and national artists.  Its welcoming first floor café serves a range of delicious snacks and drinks and is open from 10.00am.
