The Shakespeare North Playhouse is set to open in July 2022 in Prescot, Merseyside. The unique building is the only 17th-century style, timber-built ‘Cockpit’ theatre outside London and it can seat up to 450 people for a performance.
The Shakespeare North Playhouse is not just reserved for performances of Shakespeare’s plays. The theatre has a range of meeting and events space - all available to hire.
Spaces include the main Cockpit Theatre available for meetings or dinners on the stage. The Learning Centre and the Exhibition Space will both accommodate up to 80 delegates. The Studio will seat 55 delegates with a Meeting Room, the smallest space seating up to eight people. Outside in the grounds of the main theatre, the Sir Ken Dodd Performance Garden offers amphitheatre style seating space.
A full catering package is available.
The Shakespeare North Playhouse is located in Prospero Place in the centre of Prescot, close to Liverpool and with good access to the M57, otherwise known as Liverpool’s outer ring road.
