Situated in the heart of Prescot, Shakespeare North Playhouse is a fantastic place for everyone to visit and enjoy.
Like Prescot itself, Shakespeare North Playhouse is a building that embraces both modern and historic design. Crafted from brick, glass and beautiful timber finishes, you’ll discover lots of different spaces here – the traditional Shakespearean Theatre, the Studio, and Sir Ken Dodd Performance Garden. Plus an Exhibition Space, Café, Bar, Shop, Piazza, Learning Space and Meeting Rooms.
We look forward to welcoming you. Together we’ll make the building come alive!

Cockpit Theatre
The Cockpit Theatre is not always accessible to pop in and look around. This is for many reasons including rehearsals, set and stage building and maintenance. There will be tours of the whole venue (including the Cockpit Theatre) which you can book on to from September 2022.
