The Kilworth House Theatre has been built in a beautiful wooded glade close to the lake in the grounds of Kilworth House Hotel.
The auditorium has a maximum capacity of 550 comfortable, padded seats in tiered rows, all of which provide a superb view of the stage area. A magnificent sail-like canopy provides protection for the whole audience against adverse weather.
A state-of-the-art lighting and sound system has been installed in keeping with our intention to present professional productions and entertainment of the highest quality.
Bar facilities and seating areas are provided within the theatre area which will be open one hour before the show.
Corporate hospitality is available in the Staging Post restaurant, conveniently situated next to the theatre.
There’s a special aura and magic about open-air theatre on a beautiful English summer’s evening, so what better way to experience that magic than amidst the magnificent surroundings of the Kilworth estate, enjoying a professional production of a standard rarely seen outside the West End of London.
Kilworth House Theatre has
been recognised for no less than three awards
this year – a major achievement in its first year
of opening.
The theatre was named ‘New Building of the
Year’ by the Campaign to Protect Rural England
(CPRE) in Leicestershire in December. In addition
it has also had recent success in the category of ‘Small Building Structure of the Year’ at the
Annual Procon Awards (Property & Construction
Industry Awards).
Midway through the year, the theatre also
scooped the honours of ‘Best Structural Design’ at the East Midlands Built in Quality Awards.
