The Empire Theatre
The Empire is our home – particularly for larger and more popular productions. Here are some pictures of the facilities there.
There are extensive changing and storage facilities behind the theatre too The auditorium seats around 300
Since 2014 a lot of work has been done at the Theatre to bring it up to speed and there will be more to come, with a new cinema project well under way
