Established by David Calder in 1979, the Bradon Forest Theatre has been producing and hosting a wide variety of performances for 30 years. Our intimate and endearing 100 seat venue has seen shows from much loved companies such as Peepolykus, Pickled Image and Gonzo Moose and we have even had the pleasure of hosting a couple of world premieres!

We pride ourselves in promoting and encouraging new theatre and are committed to supporting the development of companies wherever possible. Our programme includes innovative new theatre companies as well as established, experienced performers. We also offer challenging young drama from both our students and youth acting groups. This myriad of productions encourages our audiences, young and old, to push their experiences, question their expectations and be inspired and stimulated by passionate performances.

We are a fully professional theatre in a specialist school for the arts, and this fortunate position enables us to offer great value tickets for all of our shows. We believe that theatre should be an enjoyable experience, but also one that encourages you to think in different ways. Where else can you experience exciting theatre, music and dance for under £6?

This year we’re hosting our annual Summer Arts Festival in a big top tent.
