This popular theatre deserves your support
for the fantastic programme of events it puts on each year. The delightful
venue is highly recommended, not only for its charm but also for the fun
filled evening you'll have when you visit. The Old Laundry Theatre is
situated in Bowness-on-Windermere in the heart of the Lake District. The
lively annual season of music, theatre, comedy and film starts on 27th
August 2009 and finishes at the end of November 2009. 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).
