Welcome

The Old Laundry Theatre is situated in Bowness-on-Windermere in the heart of the Lake District. Our lively annual season of music, theatre, comedy and film usuallycommences in August and finishes in December. The theatre was opened in 1992 by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, a trustee of the theatre. The theatre season is run by a registered charity, Bowness Theatre Festival Ltd, with financial and practical support from The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction - the business it shares a building and facilities with. Its design is based on Sir Alan’s original theatre in Scarborough, making it one of only six ‘in-the-round’ theatres in the UK (seating up to 280 in the round or 250 in a conventional stage layout).
