“The Queen's Walk Community Association has been a fantastic venue and partner for the Lace Market Theatre for many years. The staff are always polite and helpful, and the spaces available are perfect for our needs and unmatched so close to the city centre. We are delighted to be able to support such an excellent part of the local community.”

They put on a variety of plays and musicals, from dramas to comedies, old and new, and have many volunteering roles from acting on stage to working backstage, and from creating theatre to serving our audiences.
