Our Next Productions......

Due to the current and ongoing situation, we regret to inform you that we have taken the decision to postpone all performances for season 2020/2021.

The scheduled performances for this season will now take place at some point in the future. We have taken this decision as all productions would require work start taking place now, and obviously this is just not possible at the moment. Bookings will open for next year in due course and we will of course keep you informed.

If you have any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact our Box Office on 0845 643 0808.

Our sincere apologies to all customers who will be affected by this postponement, but we feel we are doing the right thing to protect our cast, crew, volunteers and audiences.

We will keep you posted with any further information so please stay safe, and we will see you all soon.



What our audiences say...

"Really enjoyed it last night, funny and moving, well done to all and enjoy the rest of the run." Audience reaction on Facebook to Mom's Gift.

"Watched Goodnight Mr Tom on Saturday evening, wow! A fantastic production from start to finish. I laughed, cried and was hooked from the very beginning. Well done to everyone involved!"

"I absolutely love FLT, especially its old world charm & friendliness. It really is like 'stepping back in time ' and the cast/productions aren't half bad either!"


"Fantastic performance of The Turn of the Screw. Everything from the wonderful acting, costumes, set, the bar staff, even the lovely man who helped with my daughter parking her car safely. Definitely will return to this fabulous hidden gem in Farnworth."


We've been busy

While the pandemic has virtually put a standstill to all of our live productions, we have by no means been quiet at the theatre. 
A strong team of our trusty volunteers have been sprucing up the theatre from the front of house, outside the building and back stage, ready for our productions to start again in the not too distant future (hopefully)!

Established in 1948, Farnworth Little Theatre is an amateur theatre group situated just outside Bolton. Our first full length play 'Night Must Fall', was presented in 1949, and since then we have offered a continuous programme of up to five full length productions a year... more.

NEW : Starting this season, you can now pay for membership via standing order.
