A community arts centre and theatre occupying the surviving refectory range of Boston’s medieval Dominican friary.
This arts centre occupies part of Boston’s former Dominican friary, placing today’s performances within a building with deep medieval roots. Theatre and other cultural activity give the historic space a lively present-day purpose. The venue is a reminder that heritage is not only something to look at: it can continue to hold audiences, stories and creative work. Check the current programme for a reason to step inside, then connect the visit with Boston’s nearby Guildhall, church and riverside history.
