Local Accomodation

Skipton Little theatre is located a few minutes walk from the Town Centre of Skipton. Easily accessible by bus, train, car, or boat, it nestles opposite a pub, and mere yards from a supermarket and petrol station. To find us, simply follow the appropriate directions:

By Bus  By Train  By Car  By Boat

By Bus

In the bus station, find the Westgate Department Store. Look at the main doors, and turn left. You should see a footbridge over the canal - go over it. Follow the road straight on towards Tesco. The theatre is 20 yards ahead and to the right of the junction.

By Train
Exit the station building and turn right. You should be facing back along the tracks, and looking along a footpath that runs between the railway and the back of Morrison's supermarket. Follow it. The end of the footpath comes out next to Tesco's petrol station. Go past the entrance to the road junction, and turn left. The theatre is about 20 yards down the road, on the left.

By Car
From Ilkley, Gargrave or Grassington:
Head for the town centre. You'll know when you're got there because there's a huge Norman church at one end of a road with a War Memorial on a roundabout nearby. This is the High Street, and you need to go to the other end of it.
At the bottom of the High Street, turn right at the mini-roundabout, and right again immediately afterwards. This should take you past a chip shop on the right after about 100 yards, and over a bridge. Take the first left once you are over the bridge. The entrance to the car park you can use is about 50 yards on the left.
Once you've parked, go back to the road and head past Goa Spice. About 200 yards later, you should be outside the Railway Inn, and opposite the theatre.

From Keighley:
Follow the main road in to the town centre. Before you get there, you'll go past an old petrol station on the left at the top of a hill. Turn left immediately afterwards, and head towards Tesco. As you pass the entrance to Tesco's car park (please do not park in Tesco's car park, as you may be clamped if you are not a customer), the road bears right slightly. The theatre is 30 yards further on, on the left. There is a car park another 200 yards on the right.

From Earby:
Follow the main road into town. You should pass (all on the right) the railway station, Morrison's supermarket, and Focus. Immediately after Focus, turn right. The entrance to the car park you can use is about 50 yards on the left.
Once you've parked, go back to the road and head past Goa Spice. About 200 yards later, you should be outside the Railway Inn, and opposite the theatre.

By Boat
Join the Leeds-Liverpool canal at any point and head towards Skipton (roughly 30 miles from Leeds and 90 miles from Liverpool). Once in Skipton, you can moor practically anywhere on the southern bank (with the relevant permissions from British Waterways, of course), but probably the best place would be between Eastwood's chippie, and Bizzie Lizzie's - both of which are clearly visible from the canal.
Once you've tied up, you can follow the tow-path until you get to the bus station, and follow the directions for arriving by bus.
