Caxton Theatre

The 184 seat Caxton Theatre at 128 Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby offers a wide variety of plays throughout the year.

The town does not support a professional theatre, but relies on amateurs for its productions, a fact reflected on in The Stage newspaper in 2005, writer Peter Hepple reporting: “...to its credit it (Grimsby) is proud to possess one of the more remarkable amateur theatres in Britain, the Caxton.”

The Caxton Players can trace their roots to 1941 when seven employees of the Grimsby Evening Telegraph formed an amateur dramatic society.

In February 1943 The Caxton Players were formed, flourishing through the war years in St Andrew’s Church Hall, Freeman Street.

The Caxtons bought the old Plaza Cinema in Cleethorpe Road in January 1981 and converted it into a theatre at a cost of £85,000.

Since then eight main-house productions have been staged each year.

The quality of productions have won many awards and national acclaim.

The Caxton Youth Theatre, which was formed over half a century ago, is the longest running drama group for young people in Grimsby. The CYT has a reputation for producing excellent plays and has won many awards for their productions around the country.
