For those that like to visit Churches this is a must see in the village on the outskirts of Market Harborough C 13 century it has great character and is cared for with well kept grounds and the fabric of the building shows this to good effect. The church organ is grand and many events take place. It also has a lady in charge of the proceedings.

Harborough Theatre

Theatre presenting a full season of plays by its own (amateur) company, plus visiting companies, concerts, stand-up comedy. Also operates as a cinema hosting a community film club with broadcast screenings of theatre, opera and ballet.

Reviewed By 926grahamb - Raunds, United Kingdom

What a lovely small theatre with great sight lines, excellent sound and an impressive staff. Their version of Patrick Marber’s Closer was outstanding. Mark Bodicoat had assembled a very strong cast including a young up and coming star who had come up through the ranks of the youth theatre. Such a clever piece of theatre that could so easily be ruined by poor staging, no interaction or weak acting. Fortunately Bodicoat had directed a mini masterpiece. Go and see it if you can get tickets, only £11 each!
