The globe's tiniest theatre, which deteriorated after a devastating blaze, has welcomed audiences once again seven years following its rescue by dedicated volunteers.

The Theatre of Small Convenience, formerly a Victorian lavatory, accommodates merely 12 spectators before its diminutive 1.5m (4.9ft) stage.

It launched in Malvern , Worcestershire , during 1997 and received official recognition as the planet's smallest commercial theatre from Guinness World Records in 2002.

The compact venue - spanning just 5.23m (17ft) in length and 2.8m (9.1ft) at its broadest section - was compelled to shut its doors in 2018 after fire damage.

Nevertheless, it was revived after neighbourhood residents joined forces to restore the distinctive theatre to its previous splendour.
