Leamington Spa's Outstanding Live Theatre Company. The Loft Theatre Company has been producing live theatre in Leamington Spa since 1922. Professional standards are our goal as we work to bring variety and the very best in community-based theatre to Leamington Spa, to Warwickshire and to our wider audience beyond. The company has earned a strong reputation nationally for the professional quality of productions. It is run almost entirely by volunteers, many of whom have theatrical or academic drama qualifications and experience, who devote their talent, time and energy to the theatre simply because they find it fulfilling. Each year we produce around nine shows in the main 200 seat auditorium and a smaller number in the 50 seat Douglas Ford studio theatre. Our work covers the range of theatrical styles from classical to modern, tragedy to comedy, farce and musical theatre. Whether you like to be shocked, enlightened or simply entertained, you will find something for you here.

The Loft is a super little theatre run by volunteers and supporters of the arts. The volunteers are charming and run a small bar with tea and coffee on offer also. My daughter was acting in Dangerous Liaisons which was extremely entertaining and the dedication of these amateur dramatics is commendable.

A fantastic experience. All staff and volunteers are so welcoming and helpful, the tour of the centre is very interesting and informative and who can resist playing and feeding 6 week old puppies. You have to keep an eye out for ticket release dates as they sell out extremely quickly and usually several months in advance. Fully recommend this experience.

Had seen pictures of this windmill and was fascinated by its unusual structure visited on a dull , damp day but wasn’t disappointed, the windmill is stunning , a very solid structure with the sails intact . It is approached up a slight incline and the view at the top is spectacular even on a dull day. Will definitely visit again to see the views on a clear day when apparently you can see Warwick castle amongst other things. It’s a lovely walk for all ages and it’s dog friendly. There’s some roadside parking but limited. Beautiful views,beautiful walks can you can make your visit as long or as short as you wish and it’s free!
