The Theatre threw the doors open for the first time since its long closure on the 24th of October 2025. Since then we have hosted an array of events, concerts, immersive performances, storytelling, puppet shows and even weddings.

The smallest theatre in the world closed in 2017 when Dennis Neale, its founder retired. It was taken on by the local art college, and sadly suffered a fire and was abandoned over lockdown.
In 2025 Loz Samuels, Dibah Farooqui and Jan Birtle set up a Community Interest Company and finally got the keys to the door of this tiny old former Victorian toilet.
Restoration started immediately. Thanks to generous donations from the community and grants from the Town and District Councils the theatre, along with a lot of hard work, we are now up and running.
Interview from BBC Hereford and Worcester with Loz Samuels, Dibah Farooqui and Jan Birtle by Tom Edwards. The team discuss the restoration process.
Our amazing theatre entered the Guinness Book of Records in 2002. Read how Dennis Neale converted the theatre with the hard work and dedication of friends and helpers in 1997. An amazing spirit of sharing makes it possible to do what we do and we are astounded by the amount of time people have donated to the cause.
