About Us
Welcome to Louth Riverhead Theatre
Your Home of Live Entertainment!
Nestled in the historic town of Louth, Louth Riverhead Theatre is more than just a stage (in fact we have two) it’s a place where stories come to life, creativity flourishes, and the community comes together.
As one of Lincolnshire’s leading volunteer led theatres, we take pride in delivering outstanding performances, nurturing talent, and creating unforgettable experiences for all who walk through our doors.
We’re a welcoming space for all, where friendships are formed, skills are developed, and lifelong memories are made. Whether you’re on stage, behind the scenes, or in the audience, you’re part of our story.

Over the years, Louth Riverhead Theatre has evolved into a cultural hub, welcoming thousands of visitors, performers, and creatives from near and far.
Built on the dedication of volunteers and the generosity of our supporters, we continue to grow, adapt, and inspire. Whether it’s a classic drama, a toe-tapping musical, or an innovative new production, we bring a diverse programme that entertains, educates, and moves audiences.
