We've just about anchored ourselves after our incredible Birthday Open Day...👏

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate 94 years of Leith Theatre with us. It was brilliant to see so many people exploring the building, recounting memories and asking questions!

A special thank you to Holmes Miller for sharing more about the design journey, to our amazing volunteers for keeping everything running so smoothly and to Pilot Beer and Mademoiselle Macaron for providing the best birthday treats.

One of the most valuable parts of the day was hearing your thoughts and ideas for the future of Leith Theatre. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share them with us - we've been reading every single one!

This was just one step on the journey, and we're looking forward to sharing more with you as the project develops. Thanks again for being at the heart of it. 💙

Leith Theatre...or should we say Macron Theatre? 👀

We're loving this crossover between stage and sport. Two iconic legacies coming together for something pretty special. 💙

Thank you Theatres Trust, for your support over the past decade.

Today, Leith Theatre has been removed from Theatres Trust's Theatres At Risk Register, recognising the progress made towards securing the future of this building as a permanent cultural venue.

While this marks an important milestone, our work is far from over and we still have a long road ahead to bring this much-loved space back into full-time operation.

Being on the register has been instrumental in shining a spotlight on Leith Theatre, helping to galvanise support when it was needed most. Alongside invaluable advice and lifeline funding, Theatres Trust has been there at key moments and we're incredibly grateful for their ongoing partnership.

As our The National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland-supported project progresses, we thank everyone who continues to support us on this journey.
