This theatre is a place of big dreams, and amazing experiences. It’s all run completely on volunteers and the professionalism of the people both on stage and off is worth it. Can’t wait to see what NMAT will bring to the stage next!
For a grandad who is Simply the Best
In loving memory of Uncle Colin (Redfern)
About New Mills Art Theatre
The Art Theatre in New Mills, Derbyshire, is a volunteer-run venue supporting theatre and arts in the community. Opened in 1911 and redesigned in 1921 by architect Albert Winstanley, it remains a vital cultural hub. The theatre retains many original features, including a rare revolving stage and a barrel-vaulted tin ceiling painted by Clare Ferriby, who also decorated Manchester’s Palace Theatre. In 2019, it added gold seats from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Theatre Royal, Drury Lane—bringing a touch of the West End to the High Peak. Entirely self-funded, the Art Theatre offers public benefit at no cost to the taxpayer.
