Featured Event

Playing with Snails (8th-25th February)


snails A world premiere for the Bike Shed Theatre company of a new play by Peter Kesterton. Daniel visits a disused coastal fort every day to light a candle. But today there’s something unexpected in fort. Some children’s toys have been carefully placed there. A teenage girl, Caitlin is hanging around too? What’s she doing there and did she bring the toys? A shocking, contemporary play exploring issues of guilt, forgiveness and redemption. more info

SPONSOR A SEAT CAMPAIGN

You may have heard that we have new seats! (There's a photo HERE). They are fantastic and comfy but we're on a roll and we want to do more! We would like to build a permanent place to operate the shows. In the back corner is an old dumb waiter shaft, which we would like to convert. For £2,500 we can knock into it; build a floor, desk and window and re-route the electric. You can help us by sponsoring one of our new seats! CLICK HERE

If you would like to be a permanent sponsor of the new tech box please contact us to discuss.
