Standing proud in the heart of the small rural market town of Ulverston on the edge of the Lake District, the Coro is an historic arts, culture and entertainment venue. It was built as ‘The Coronation Hall’ by public subscription in 1920 in direct response to the people’s desire for a place to go to enjoy theatre, music, dance and entertainment.
Since that time the Coro has grown into a much-loved venue that showcases world-class performance alongside home-grown artists and locally produced festivals, shows, activities and events. We encourage and inspire people to engage in quality and accessible music, art, theatre, and comedy, and are committed to providing great experiences for people to enjoy while working towards securing a sustainable future for our venue.
The Coro is a registered charity that is overseen by the social enterprise Ulverston Community Enterprises (UCE). As one of UCE’s community assets, we are committed to these fundamental strategic priorities.
