Dating back to 1875 the home of the Web Theatre began life as a Good Templar Hall and was then used by The Salvation Army, the most recent use of the building was as a factory.

The downstairs comprises of an office, a coffee bar, three dressing rooms and a bright modern studio.

Upstairs a welcoming foyer leads to a 120 seat raked auditorium. The Victorian décor of red velvet and gold  gives the impression of a by gone era a sharp contrast to the modern vibe of the downstairs area. We can also boasts a well lit car part at the rear of the premises and a lift ensures that everyone can access the building.

The theatre is now used by a wide range of local community groups who are able to benefit from a central location and high quality venue. Every year since its inception the theatre has increased the opportunities to see a wide range of professional and amateur theatre.
