A remarkable, contemporary, award-winning space for performance, education, business and social activity; a regeneration project to reawaken and reinvigorate, bringing excitement, joy and opportunity to Prescot and the Liverpool City Region.
In the 1590s, a remarkable theatre stood in the town of Prescot. Thought to be the only purpose-built indoor playhouse outside London, players performed new shows by a popular writer of the day, William Shakespeare. This is the inspiration for Shakespeare North Playhouse, which opened in 2022.
Playhouse spaces are available for corporate use. Meetings, away days, awards events, conferencing and celebrations. Bring your teams. Entertain your clients.
