The websites for each service will be updated over the coming weeks.

Something awesome is coming soon...

The Key Theatre is in the process of transferring ownership. Going forward it will be run by Selladoor Venues, the same people who bring you the New Theatre, Peterborough.

We are working hard to get everything transferred and bring you a brand new website.

Watch an eclectic mix of genres including music, comedy, live screenings, spoken word, dance, film and drama. Make sure not to miss our annual pantomime, which has been entertaining children, parents and grandparents since 1973, making it the oldest traditional pantomime in Peterborough.

Based in the heart of Peterborough City Centre along the embankment next to the River Nene, we’re just a five-minute walk from Bridge Street, where you will find a mix of shops and restaurants.

The theatre is within walking distance of the city centre and can easily accessed by public and private transport.
