About us
Who we are
Founded 25 years ago, the Lantern Arts Centre is a venue to celebrate and encourage community and creativity in Raynes Park and beyond. Everyone is welcome here!
We are a faith-based charity offering a wide range of activities including: regular community productions at an affordable ticket price, a thriving youth theatre and children's theatre club, dance and acting classes, a community choir, film clubs and activities for toddlers.
"The Lantern Arts Centre is a fantastic place. I love it. I love going to see their amazing productions, I love trying out my new jokes and ideas there, I love going to the costume store and finding some new ridiculous way to dress, I love the little coffee shop. I love all of it! It is a wonderful place for the local community young and old and it's run by brilliant people who know that everyone in this world, no matter who they are, has inside them the incredible God given gift of creativity. Every town in this country should have a Lantern Arts Centre.'" Tim Vine, Comedian & LAC Patron
