🚨 Arches Lane Theatre to Close: Battersea Power Station terminates lease and evicts theatre for commercial hospitality venture. [Donate to our emergency fundraiser here →].

Welcome to

Arches Lane Theatre

We have now completed our programming at Arches Lane Theatre.

Arches Lane Theatre has been forced to close after our lease was unexpectedly terminated by our landlords, Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC).

Despite numerous meetings with BPSDC this summer, advocacy from local supporters, consultation with the Mayor's Culture at Risk Office, Theatres Trust, and Wandsworth Council, BPSDC has refused to find a new home for us on the estate and are forcing us to close forever. We have begun the process of decommissioning the theatre before we hand back the space on 12 October.

While we are devastated by what's happened here, we want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you for supporting our work and coming through our doors.

Staying Connected

Although our doors are being shut on Arches Lane, our work isn't stopping. We’d love for you to stay on our mailing list so we can keep in touch, and you are always welcome to come visit us at our sister venue, Barons Court Theatre.

Your incredible messages of support have meant everything to us.

Our emergency crowdfunder is still open. Please consider supporting us through this challenging transition.

We've loved being your local community theatre. Thank you.

Warm Wishes,

Sharon & Leo
