Heritage
Chesil Theatre has a proud reputation as an excellent guardian of our medieval listed property which we have occupied since 1966. Repairs and improvements need traditional crafts and materials. We have total responsibility for the upkeep of this historic building in one of Winchester’s prime Conversation Areas at the entrance to the city.

Community Outreach
Chesil Theatre’s outreach programme aims to reach out to our immediate community from disadvantaged children to the elderly. We also welcome community groups into our theatre, as well as visiting theatre companies needing a small-scale venue.

Development
Chesil Theatre has a long term plan in action to future-proof the use of the historic building we occupy by extending and enhancing our facilities, evolving into a bigger and more vibrant arts hub. We are working towards designing a new foyer, second multi-purpose performance space and improved access and amenities for those with mobility impairments. Together with your help we can establish a wonderful community asset for generations to come, right in the centre of the City.

You can learn more about our development here (and then we can make this a link to pages about the annexe)
