About Landmark Theatres:

LANDMARK THEATRES is a community embedded National organisation designed to deliver the highest quality theatre to the widest possible demographic in the least culturally engaged places in England.

The idea for Landmark Theatre Ltd was born before the pandemic, which has served to make it more urgent. The theatres, some of whom have previously been closed or in difficulty under previous administrations, have been through a transformation over the past 2 years. Previously named Selladoor Venues, Landmark Theatres is now moving forward with an ambitious new model for operating. We are building a new producing theatre organisation outside London – for the first time in a generation. This community embedded new national organisation is designed to deliver the highest quality theatre by for and with the widest demographic in the least engaged places in England. This funding from Arts Council is a great vote of confidence in our potential to deliver to areas previously underinvested in culturally.

We are headquartered at the Queen’s Theatre, 100 Boutport Street Barnstaple and currently we work in Northern Devon and in Peterborough. We look forward to working with our national, regional, and local partners and most of all with the artists and communities in our places – to deliver measurable economic benefit, improve health and well-being and first and foremost to empower talent and create and curate exceptional work.

The Arts Council’s investment of £3million over the next three years will ensure that Landmark Theatres can deliver an ambitious artistic mission, driving quality work, inspiring, and developing new talent for and with the audience we serve across North Devon and Peterborough.

This is an organisation with the huge ambition necessary to tackle disproportionality.

The business will complete transitioning to a charitable company to coincide with the negotiation of our funding agreement with ACE. The company has strong foundations in generating income as commercially driven businesses, driving trade and strong attendance. But newly found relationships with key stakeholders such as the Arts Council England have broadened the companies’ ambitions against their Let’s Create Strategy.

Landmark Theatres Ltd is committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation and we are keen to make our workforce more representative of different backgrounds and experiences of the communities we serve. We work to remove barriers and pride ourselves on giving opportunities to people of all walks of like and all class backgrounds. We welcome applications from people who are under-represented in our organisation. These include those who identify as LGBTQIA+, D/Ddeaf, disabled, those who are early in their careers or come from groups who experience racial inequality.
