About
Welcome to The Forum, Barrow-in-Furness' hub for diverse and exciting events and activities, catering to both locals and visitors seeking top-tier entertainment. Our mission is to offer an array of experiences for everyone during this season, showcasing international talent alongside local dance troupes and amateur groups.
A Place for Everyone: We take pride in being a fully accessible and family-friendly venue. Our dedicated team is eager to extend a warm welcome to you at The Forum this season.
Versatile Facilities: The Forum stands as a versatile, multi-purpose venue. With a fully equipped theatre, state-of-the-art conference facilities, and in-house catering services, we are equipped to host a wide range of events and gatherings.
Family-Centric Approach: Families and children are at the heart of our offerings. For shows with a 'babes in arms' policy, we provide complimentary tickets for the little ones, who will share a seat with a paying adult. We understand the importance of convenience, and pushchairs can be stored free of charge during performances, although they can't be taken inside the theatre. Our building also features accessible baby changing facilities for your convenience.
