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.
