News Flash: Chesil Theatre's Extension Plans Get The Go Ahead
Winchester Dramatic Society, performing as Chesil Theatre, is delighted to announce that plans for a much needed annexe to their historic premises in Chesil Street have been given the green light, in conjunction with neighbouring landowners, St John’s Winchester.
Contracts have now been exchanged between these two well-known and well-established Winchester charities for the Society’s purchase of a freehold parcel of land adjoining the Chesil Theatre, allowing their development scheme to go ahead.

Sadly three of our planned 2020 productions had to be postponed, but they have certainly not been forgotten! Dracula and A Fine Bright Day Today will be found future performance slots.
In the expectation that our regular performances will resume at some point we are pleased to announce that our open-air production of A Midsummer Night's Dream has be rescheduled for the summer of 2021. We are also regularly reviewing what can be done within the current government guidelines. As you will be aware these change from time to time and we are optimistic that we will be able to run performances in some form in the near future. Please do check here or on our social media streams for updates. |
