About Us

The Gordon Craig Theatre has been entertaining audiences from across the home counties since it first opened in 1975. This 501-seat theatre boasts a varied programme of live entertainment, ranging from one-night variety-music shows to week-long drama productions.

The theatre has also maintained a proud tradition of presenting first rate opera, dance and orchestral concerts.

The Concert Hall has an exciting programme of Comedy and Live Music. Jimmy Carr, Jethro, Dionne Warwick and Lesley Garrett are among some of the many sold-out performances that the 1,200-seat auditorium has previously played host to.

Undoubtedly, one of the major highlights of the year is the Pantomime. Comprising some of the top names in the entertainment world and budding local performers, the Pantomime attracts record-breaking attendances year on year.

The Gordon Craig Theatre and Concert Hall certainly have something for the whole family!

A dynamic music performance on stage features two musicians in black sequined jackets playing acoustic guitars. One looks at the other smiling. There's another guitarist in the background to the left, and several guitars rest on stands to the right. The stage is illuminated with vibrant lights.

Spacious Gordon Craig café bar with light wooden floors and a high ceiling. The counter is long with wooden panelling, featuring a pastry display, coffee machines, and various beverages. The words "Café Bar" are prominently displayed on the wall above the counter.

A person sitting on a green floor feeds puppet ducks. Nearby is a picnic setup with an apple and sandwich on a checked cloth. Surrounding them are various large character puppets, including pigs and other animals, under a backdrop of trees and blue sky.

A camera operator films five people in costume. They stand in front of promotional posters and pose for the camera. The costumes include a large dress, a jester outfit, and medieval attire, suggesting a theatrical event. The setting is an indoor room with wooden floors.

The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts, but is also the return of art to life.
