Umbrella organisation promoting and supporting independent amateur theatre companies which have control over their own premises and produce drama of a high quality for the benefit of their communities.
The aims of the Guild are:
* To extend close co-operation between members in all areas of theatre; to organise national and regional conferences and seminars.
* To run regular courses to improve standards and theatrical knowledge.
* To act as the co-ordinating body for the development of little theatres, and to lobby on their behalf on matters of national interest, such as Taxation, Charity status, licensing, sponsorship, insurance and royalties.
* To help and improve relationships with local authorities and regional arts associations.
* To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regionally, nationally and internationally.
* To ensure that the voice of the little theatre movement is heard strongly within national and international bodies, including the Central Council for Amateur Theatre (CCAT) and the International Theatre Exchange (ITE).
The Guild holds two National Conferences each year and is organised on a regional basis for the arrangement of additional conferences, seminars and training events
