The Heron is a small theatre housed in a listed building in a village on the southern fringe of the Lake District. It was originally one of the old two-room Grammar schools of the 18th century.
The theatre, officially opened by H.R.H Princess Alexandra in 2001, runs a regular fortnightly programme of plays, revues, lectures and musical events which are open to the public.
The theatre also operates a membership scheme which has a separate programme, and carries booking and special event privileges.
