The Playhouse

The Cecil Hepworth Playhouse is a performing arts venue for hire in Walton on Thames town centre, ideal for theatre, dance, comedy and musical productions.

The raked seating can be deployed for your audience, or retracted to reveal a large space for rehearsals, choirs, dance, fitness classes, quiz nights, private parties, other commercial or community events. 

There is step-free access for the audience or event attendees to the auditorium, foyer, bar and accessible WC facilities.
