We also produce high-quality Musicals, Drama and Family productions including our annual family Pantomime in Peterborough.

We are the largest new theatre entrant to Arts Council England's National Portfolio (23-26) and are working with a number of high-quality partners such as Birmingham Royal Ballet, The National Theatre and Paines Plough. We receive an annual grant of £1 million a year for the current three-year funding cycle from 2023-24 to 2025-26 to ensure that Landmark Theatres can deliver an ambitious artistic mission, driving quality work, inspiring and developing new talent for and with the audience we serve across Peterborough and North Devon.

We are now building a new producing theatre organisation outside London – for the first time in a generation. The company has strong foundations in generating income as commercially driven businesses, driving trade and strong attendance. But newly found relationships with key stakeholders such ACE have broadened the companies’ ambitions against their Let’s Create Strategy.

We are respectful and responsive to local priorities, deliver innovation and work in partnership to empower our communities. We deliver a breadth of creative activities and ways in which our communities can engage whether that be as an audience member, participant, decision maker or through developing talent.
