Community, Culture and Creative Learning at Fareham Live
Fareham Live is a thriving community space, offering far more than its fantastic theatre programme.

Coming up in 2026…
Vocals and Vibes – Friday 19 June and Friday 24 July

Whether you’re crafting a gripping murder plot or building tension in a mysterious tale, these friendly sessions are open to all abilities.

National Theatre Live
National Theatre Live has come to Fareham Live, bringing world-class theatre to local audiences through state-of-the-art cinematic broadcasts direct from London’s National Theatre.

This fusion of cutting-edge cinema and traditional theatre atmosphere creates an immersive and distinctive way to enjoy National Theatre productions, closer to the spirit of being there in person.
The NT Live season at Fareham Live will continue throughout 2026, featuring an exciting line-up of contemporary dramas, classic works, and innovative new productions from leading creative voices across the UK and beyond, including:
- The Playboy of the Western World – Thursday 11 June
- Les Liaisons Dangereuses – Saturday 27 June
- The Sensational 60s Experience – Saturday 10 October
Behind the Curtain Tour – Saturday 25 July
Step behind the scenes at Fareham Live and discover how the magic of theatre comes to life. Perfect for families, this interactive tour gives curious minds a chance to explore backstage areas, from dressing rooms to technical spaces. Learn how shows are brought together and see the theatre from a whole new perspective.
Summer Youth Project
Fareham Live’s exciting Summer Youth Project invites up to 100 young performers, aged eight to 18, to step into the spotlight as they rehearse, create, and perform the timeless tale of Peter Pan within a professional theatre.
From singing pirates and daring swordfights to fantastical make-believe, Peter Pan is a story filled with magic, swashbuckling fun, and a sprinkle of fairy dust. This project will support your child in building confidence, teamwork, and creativity through drama, dance, and song — all guided by experienced theatre professionals in a safe and supportive environment.
The two-week project runs from Monday 26 July to Saturday 8 August and culminates in five performances of this full-scale musical under the supervision of a highly skilled creative team!
Clubs and Societies
There are also a number of clubs and societies that use the interval spaces at Fareham Live to socialise over there hobbies, there is a weekly Pilates class for all abilities to promote community health and wellbeing and the venue is also dog friendly with ice-cream and treats available for customers’ four-legged friends.
