The building opened in 1794 as a Methodist chapel, until it was purchased by the National Association of Boys’ Clubs in 1948. In 1998, the building was purchased for use as a theatre by Barnsley Theatre Trust.

Under the leadership and enthusiasm of John Kelly and over 100 patrons, subscribers and volunteers ‘The People’s Theatre’ launched in 1999 as The Lamproom Theatre.

About us

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS! a message from our chairman.

It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of all the volunteers who created and maintain Barnsley’s Lamproom Theatre, to welcome you to our 25th Anniversary year.

The Lamproom Theatre has, for a quarter of a century, provided our community with a wonderful example of volunteering spirit and endeavour. Everyone, including the Board of Trustees, Friends of the Lamproom, none-technical stage crews, directors and actors, give freely of their time and talent to provide our town with one of the most successful community theatres in the country.
