Leith Theatre Trust took over the management of the Leith Theatre complex in January 2016 and our volunteer programme started in August that year.

We are having some difficulty with our heating here at Leith Theatre and have had to take the decision to postpone the screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol this Wednesday. We will show it next Wednesday instead; same time; same festive fun!

Leith Theatre Trust would like to give the warmest of all welcomes to Lynn Morrison, who has accepted the newly formed role of Chief Executive.

We are delighted that the Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund is to put in £190,000 to enable a music programme to take place in Leith Theatre as part of the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF).

People living in the Greater Leith area can make their voices heard by voting for Leith Theatre to receive funding for local projects close to their heart and home!

Our campaign to revive the Leith Theatre has received a welcome boost with £1m of funding confirmed in the City of Edinburgh Council’s capital budget for 2018-2023. 

85 years ago this week Leith Theatre, or Leith town Hall as it was then called and the adjoining Library opened their doors with an official opening from the then Lord Provost Rt. Hon. Sir Thomas B Whitson. The art deco space was for its time state of the art.
