We take our own brand of professional theatre with a spiritual heart into the very heart of communities across the UK - from village to inner city - every year …


How do we do it?

Well, we couldn't do it without the brilliant support of our 3500 Members - and that number is growing all the time as more and more people see us perform.

Riding Lights has remained steadfastly independent throughout its life. We would never have made it this far without our Members. Across the UK, people who recognise the unique achievement of Riding Lights - now one of the busiest independent theatre companies in the country - support us in a variety of ways. We'd like to thank you for your interest in the company's work, and we now invite you to make the next step…
