The Playhouse

Whitstable is very fortunate to have its own theatre, The Playhouse, which is owned and managed by The Lindley Players Limited.

The Lindley Players, first formed in 1946 by Ralph Lindley, performed in local church halls until eventually - in 1980 - they purchased the then United Reformed Church. A lot of hard work by the members over the next year converted the church into a theatre seating 182   We adore using this little theatre, it has such charm and atmosphere.  All sumptuous red velvet and chandeliers, with proper stalls and a balcony - it's perfect and another wonderful characterful venue to host acoustic music of the highest calibre.  With a large but cosy bar downstairs, a vast public car park a very short walk at the back of the building and the loveliest team of people there to work with, we hope to continue Folk in the Barn at the Whitstable Playhouse for years to come.
