A feature of the local landscape since 2022, and recently named RIBA North West’s ‘Building of the Year’, Shakespeare North Playhouse may be the new kid on the block but has quickly established itself at the heart of the community. More than 13,000 of the Playhouse’s 131,000 audience in the past year were from Prescot itself.

Their commitment to sharing the joys of theatre with the local community, which includes a Pay What You Decide ticketing model, extends beyond the stage lights. The Playhouse is a hub of culture and education, hosting events for people of all ages: from Baby Bards sessions, Chatty Café and games afternoons, youth workshops to art classes and wine tasting.

“Offering corporate hire not only brings local businesses and organisations into the Playhouse, but also generates vital income for us to be able to support those additional activities,” explains Fiona Hall, Event Sales Executive. “From team away-days to conferencing or awards ceremonies, we have flexible spaces to suit, giving options for all your business event and celebration needs. We’ve developed a compact 20 minute-long version of our heritage building tour for the ideal break-out or re-set activity to include in your schedule. Add our delicious event catering and you’ve got the perfect option for your next corporate event. Combine a work get together with a performance to reward your teams, or entertain potential new clients with pre-show hospitality.”
