The Skipton Players have called Skipton Little Theatre their home since 1960. This intimate venue, seating up to 70 guests, boasts a welcoming and personal environment. Each year, the Players stage a regular season of five plays, along with occasional additional plays in the summer and unique special performances at various times during the year.
The origins of the Skipton Players, who are the resident company, 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 perfoming 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.
