About Kirkgate Centre
A unique theatre and arts venue based in a former Victorian school in Cockermouth. The centre, which was first established by a group of dedicated volunteers, is a fun and intimate community hub where people can come together to enjoy a diverse selection of inspiring live performances and events, perfect for people of all ages and interests.
Upstairs, the venue seats 120 with charming period features including the original beams, a stage and a small kitchen. Projector, screen and sound equipment are available for hire to add that extra element to your event. Below this is a general community room with capacity for 70 people, useful for smaller gatherings or second room for your function. The building is wheelchair accessible and just a stones throw away from all the amenities of the town.
