Autumn / Winter Season 2023 - Cidermill Theatre

WELCOME

to the Cidermill Theatre Autumn / Winter Season 2023

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the theatre since its opening in September 2022. As the new team at Cidermill, we have the exciting task ahead of us of making this theatre into one for the whole community.

We have already been lucky enough to experience the outpouring of enthusiasm from people in the town and further afield, and it is now our job to invite you all into our fantastic spaces as we grow together into a truly exceptional place for Chipping Campden and beyond.

We are delighted to be able to launch our first professional season since opening our doors last year. You will see a range of live music, family performances, dance and new screenings from Royal Opera House Live. The sensational Tread the Boards Theatre Company will be joining us again with their pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk - it’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas! We will also be welcoming community groups and local charitable organisations onto our stage, as we champion the commendable philanthropy of the area.

Keep a look out for ways you can get involved with our activities, whether that be as a volunteer usher or box office assistant, fundraiser or simply by spreading the word to family and friends about what’s on offer.

We look forward to welcoming you soon

Laura Ashfield (Director of Theatre Operations) and the Cidermill Team
