Welcome to The Old Nick Theatre

The Old Nick Theatre is a unique arts and culture venue in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.
Housed in the old police station and courtrooms, the venue was adapted to provide a home for Gainsborough Theatre Company, an award winning amateur dramatics theatre company.

The original courtroom has been transformed into a theatre in the round and the police station restored back to its former state complete with cells and exercise yards.

It is a very special venue, indeed.


Coming Soon…

Hot on the heels of the success of The Leading Man, The Workhouse Players will be presenting a festive production called A Christmas Turkey on the 17th – 21st December 2024.

We’re very much looking forward to enjoying this new, original production.
