The National Centre for Craft and Design sits at the heart of the market town of Sleaford in Lincolnshire in the beautiful riverside setting of Navigation Wharf. It is a world class venue, the largest in England, entirely dedicated to the exhibition, celebration and promotion of international and national craft and design.

The Centre boasts five exciting gallery spaces producing a highly respected seasonal exhibitions programme of the most innovative, challenging and accomplished artists practising within the craft and design arena today.

The Playhouse was restored to a working theatre in 2000 and has had a varied history. Originally built as a theatre, it was subsequently adapted for a variety of other uses to meet the demands of the time, and is now once more a working Georgian theatre, one of only two remaining in the country. Sleaford Little Theatre now has the ‘home’ they have dreamed of and the town has an invaluable venue for all sorts of events.
