#LOVESHEFFIELD
“We’ve never come across a theatre that's quite so terrifically charming. What’s on stage is only part of the attraction; a visit to the intimate Lantern is often as much for the atmosphere of the place as it is for the performances within it (though you're unlikely to be let down on either count)”

Who We Are
Sheffield’s Oldest Surviving Theatre
We are Sheffield's oldest surviving theatre and an independent charity that is one of the most unique places for communities to experience and take part in arts and education.
What began as a private folly, built in 1893, for a local wealthy steel merchant, we are now a vital part of Sheffield’s heritage and community that has become one of the most accomplished community theatre groups in Sheffield, who have created a special space open for everyone.
Since re-opening its doors in 1957, The Lantern theatre has captivated the hearts of audiences throughout the region with a variety of quality performances and shows. Book your tickets now and look forward to a unique theatrical experience.
