The Pendle Hippodrome is a restored theatre dating back to 1912. Originally built as a music hall and cinema, it underwent periods of closure and varying uses throughout the 20th century. A major restoration project completed in 2018 revitalized the venue, preserving many of its original Art Nouveau features. The Hippodrome now functions as a multi-purpose arts centre hosting a diverse program of live music performances, theatre productions, film screenings and community events. It is recognised for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to supporting both established and emerging artists within the region. The building is Grade II listed, acknowledging its architectural and historical significance.
