Whitkirk for performing

Every performance needs a space, and Whitkirk Community Centre is a great venue for everything from intimate one-person shows through to live bands with an audience of hundreds.

We know that performing live needs plenty of planning, so when you get in touch you can also speak to our in-house technical team with decades of experience to help find out if Whitkirk is right for you.
