Theatre Deli

Theatre Deli fills empty spaces with art and artists, creativity and community. Find out about What’s On here.

Registered charity Theatre Deli has been a driving force within the arts since 2008, taking over empty spaces in city centres, and creating 15 hubs to date that support emerging artists, companies and communities whose identities, backgrounds, disciplines or work are underrepresented in theatre. Currently operating in Sheffield and London, Theatre Deli works to develop diverse audiences, artistic

communities by providing safe suitably resourced environments for everyone to experiment with, develop, showcase and enjoy art. We support and invest in artists through residencies, drop-ins, jams, festivals, co-productions, in-kind support and so much more. Our opportunities for artists will always be found on this website. You can explore the community hubs we’ve created - past and present - in our Theatre Deli Archive. You can learn more about how we partner with landlords and property developers here. In 2021 we paid over £25,000 to artists across our various programmes, and a further £9,850 in artist-favoured box office splits. We welcomed over 10,000 visitors to our spaces, and gave away more than £15,000 worth of our affordable studio space in kind.
