Wickenby is a small Lincolnshire village located between Lincoln and Market Rasen. Dominated by the farming industry, Wickenby has a population of around 60; it boasts only three public facilities: A Church, a Theatre and an Airport.

The Broadbent Theatre is owned and run by amateur theatre company, The Lindsey Rural Players.  It also plays host to several visiting companies both amateur and professional.  Built in 1878, it was converted from Methodist Chapel to Theatre in 1971. The theatre takes its name from Roy Broadbent who was among those involved in the conversion of the building. The son of Roy, actor Jim Broadbent, is the Honorary President of LRP.
