The venue, which had been gutted by fire back in November 1981,spent three and half years undergoing a complete internal rebuild, converting what had for the previous 108 years been a single large concert hall, into two separate halls.The upper Albert Halls' capacity of 676 in its normal theatre setting is extremely versatile with the option to remove and reconfigure seats depending on the event.

Farnworth Little Theatre
Cross Street
Farnworth, Lancashire, BL4 7AJ

www.farnworthlittletheatre.co.uk
| 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. We are totally self-supporting, financing the running and upkeep of the theatre through box office takings, membership fees, charitable donations and regular fund-raising events. The theatre is run by volunteers and therefore offers many opportunities for people of all ages to get involved in a range of activities, from acting to wardrobe, lighting and sound to publicity and set-building.
