Lichfield Garrick is the most welcoming theatre in the West Midlands while Buxton Opera House and Pavilion Arts Centre takes the accolade in the East Midlands.
Members of the public vote for their favourite in the most welcoming theatre category which is part of the UK Theatre Awards. The national winner will be announced at the Guildhall, London on Sunday 9 October.
Tim Ford, Lichfield Garrick’s artistic director, said, “we’re overwhelmed with this news and would like to say a huge thanks to everybody who has taken the time to vote for us.
“We pride ourselves on ensuring that everybody is truly welcome and it’s a testament to the tremendous community support from audiences, staff, volunteers and fans across the UK that the Garrick has beaten off stiff competition from many worthy rivals.
“This award is also a real testament to the fantastic team we have here and the huge amount of hard work and effort that everybody takes in ensuring that the Garrick is such a special place.”
