About Us


Welcome to The Eric Morecambe Centre

The Eric Morecambe Centre (EMC) opened its doors to the Harpenden community in September 2021.

The culture and entertainment centre, was constructed on the site of the town’s former sports facility within the beautiful surroundings of Rothamsted Park.

The Centre includes a 511-seat theatre with state-of-the-art production equipment to allow major touring shows to be staged as well as those put on by local groups.

A modern Eric Morecambe Centre theatre auditorium with rows of red seats.

The Eric Morecambe Centre also offers exhibition space with two functions rooms, a history room, bars on two floors and a coffee shop with views across the popular local park.

We regularly host live music, tribute acts, comedy, theatre productions, school concerts, an annual Christmas Panto as well as a comprehensive film programme. Our venue is used by local activity groups including dance and exercise classes, as well as popular local toddler and pre-school groups. Our function rooms provide the perfect venue for private celebrations including weddings and birthdays, as well as charity and corporate events.

For entertainment. For artistes, For community.
