Lancaster Arts: where ideas, creativity and people connect

Our strapline underlines our commitment to exceptional art that connects people and ideas.

Lancaster Arts is based at Lancaster University in the north west of England and encompasses the Nuffield Theatre, the Great Hall and the Peter Scott Gallery.  We have a long-established artistic reputation for the creation, development and presentation of cutting edge contemporary arts and are proud to be part of Arts Council England’s portfolio as a combined arts organisation.

Artistic work has been presented at our venues and in the surrounding region for over 50 years, celebrating a broad range of artistic practices from contemporary circus to classical music, Live Art to visual art. The Nuffield Theatre is the largest black box theatre outside of London and has played an important role in the history of British theatre.
