The theatre was founded 7 November 1805 and is the fourth oldest working theatre in the United Kingdom. It is staffed by volunteers. The Friends of the Kenton Theatre support the theatre in its activities.
From 1813, the theatre closed and became a non-conformistchapel, a school, unused for a period, a church hall and a store for theatrical scenery. It opened as a theatre again in 1935, with productions by professional repertory companies. In 1951, the proscenium arch was rebuilt and painted by the nationally renowned 20th century local artist John Piper. He also designed sets for some of the productions.
The hamlet was recorded as "Keninton" in 1232. The name derives from the personal name of the Saxon "Coena" and the Old English "tun", a farm - and means "the farm of Coena" and his family who once lived on a site near here. Before the 20th century, the tiny settlement was concentrated around in what was Kenton Lane (the easternmost part of which remains as Old Kenton Lane to the east of Kingsbury station) and is now part of the present day Woodgrange Avenue and Kenton Road.
The classic fairy tale comes to life on stage at the Kenton for our Panto for 2021 - produced by Bear In The Air and sponsored by Blandy and Blandy
