Kilworth House Theatre
About
Located in the heart of rural south Leicestershire, Kilworth House Theatre offers a unique blend of contemporary theatre and historic charm. Opened in 2007, the theatre sits within a beautiful wooded glade beside the lake, creating a tranquil yet vibrant backdrop for live performances. The complex is part of Kilworth House, a luxury hotel, making it easy for visitors to enjoy a night of theatre coupled with pre‑theatre dining in the elegant Orangery or the wholesome Wordsworth Restaurant. The theatre’s lineup is diverse, featuring West End–standard musical productions, live events in the hotel such as jazz nights and murder mystery dinners, and occasional outdoor theatre performances. Each evening is designed to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, with a focus on both family-friendly shows and sophisticated productions for mature audiences. The venue’s intimate size ensures that guests experience a personal, immersive connection to the performances. Beyond the main stage, Kilworth House encourages guests to explore its intimate garden spaces and the amenities of the adjoining hotel— from indulgent dining options to luxurious spa facilities. Whether you arrive for a single show or a weekend of entertainment and leisure, the theatre and its surrounding grounds promise memorable moments in a relaxed, countryside setting.
