The Place opened in January 2003, following conversion from a
disused young people’s club into an intimate but fully-equipped
130-seat theatre auditorium, with associated technical facilities
and rehearsal rooms. Currently home to three drama groups and one
musical / light opera group, The Place presents a varied season of
shows throughout the year, both from its home companies and from
occasional visiting theatre companies.

The Mill Theatre is home to five regular companies which stage up
to eight productions a year in this converted watermill. Originally
the mill had five floors but volunteers including a national job
creation scheme gutted the insides and took out the top four floors
to create an auditorium space with a storage basement.
A moderately steep rake allowed for 192 seats onto the stage which
over the years has seen a mezzanine level added plus lighting box,
lights perches with dressing rooms directly off backstage. Front of
house there’s a bar and rehearsal room plus offices, kitchen and
toilets. The building is also used for parties and weddings.
