The Coro as WhyBelieve mentioned it's known, acts as more than just a theater in Ulverston. It is a lovely venue for wide variety of shows put on here. It also houses an excellent Tourist Information Office. Every Thursday and Saturday morning, there's a coffee morning held in the upstairs bar/supper-room run by a different local charity. There is a good sized lift to take you up there and the Balcony, if the stairs are a problem. This together with the W.I. country market downstairs each Thursday, and the monthly Blood Drive in the main theater, make the Coro something akin to a Community Center. The square outside has been redeveloped to make it more pedestrian friendly. The statue of Laurel and Hardy will be unveiled by Ken Dodd on the Saturday 18th of April 2009. read more

See all

The Coro as it is known locally is a lovely old theatre to see a show at. The theatre is very ornate and beautiful and has been pride of place for many years. The choice of shows available to come and see are really good and there is a lovely dance floor where the downstairs seating is which is sometimes used for old time dancing. If you are smaller than many then it is wise to go for the raked seating downstairs or the 3rd, 4th or 5th row on the balcony for the best view. The tourist information office is also in the Coro and their are rooms to hire upstairs. read more
