We're building something new
In the meantime,
please join us at Theatrebarn for...
Hi-de-Hi!
Step into the 1950s with BAD (Bretforton Amateur Dramatics)'s stage adaptation of Hi-de-Hi!, set in the quirky world of Maplins Holiday Camp. Ambition, rivalry, romance, and gossip run wild as staff compete for a Bahamas posting, Peggy chases her big break, and chaos unfolds in classic, comedic holiday camp style.
Matt Horne in Conversation
For the very first time since the show's finale, Mathew Horne is sitting down in front of a live audience, in conversation about his Gavin & Stacey journey - from his favourite moments, behind the scenes anecdotes and the show's impact on his own day-to-day life. We'll also of course be touching on Mathew's other work including his comedy work with Catherine Tate and his working relationship with James Corden. Includes Q&A with the audience!
A Coward At Sea
A rare opportunity to see this dramatic adaptation of one of Noël Coward’s finest pieces of light verse, P&O 1930, brought to the stage for the first time by Michael Lunts, whose one-man show The Enigma of Edward Elgar was seen at last year’s Festival of Words. Come aboard the SS Madeira and relive, in Coward’s own words and songs, the historic journey home to Britain from the Far East in the 1930’s, when a voyage took weeks rather than hours, and enabled the passengers to get up to all sorts of antics en route!
Broadway Arts Festival Exhibition
150 Finalists from the Broadway Arts Festival Annual art competition form an exclusive selling exhibition from 26th September-5th October 2025, open daily from 11am – 4pm. Entry to the exhibition is free, so come along to see some amazing art on display, and everything is for sale! Some of the finalists will be demonstrating live during the exhibition. There is a demo area in between the two main exhibition areas where artists will be able to work on a piece and chat with exhibition visitors.
Some FAQs
We’re tucked away at the end of the private drive to Bretforton Grange, just off Main Street (the B4035) as you enter Bretforton from the Evesham direction. Look for the corner of Main Street and Coldicotts Lane, and if your sat-nav is having trouble, Google Maps will guide you right to our door! We recommend using this link, clicking ‘directions’ and entering your starting point: Theatrebarn - Google Maps
Alternatively, our what three words address is: ///twisty.punctual.comet
Just a heads up: the driveway is unlit, but if you follow it to the end, you’ll spot the Theatrebarn gates. Turn slightly right, and you’ll find parking and the Main Entrance.
Absolutely! We have some parking spots around the site, but they can fill up quickly, especially with a full house. If you can share transport with friends or come by other means, we’d really appreciate it – that way, we can save the spaces for those who need them the most.
There is a bar just to the right as you enter the building stocked with wine, beer, spirits and a variety of soft drinks.
We’ve got a selection of snacks like crisps and nuts at the bar to curb hunger pains, but if you’re after something more substantial, we highly recommend the world-renowned Fleece Inn just around the corner in the village– it’s one of our favourites!
The bar opens an hour before the show starts, so feel free to come early, grab a drink, and have a natter. We'd love to see you and say hello!
You sure can! Feel free to bring your drink into the auditorium once the show begins, but we kindly ask that you transfer it into one of our plastic cups to keep things safe and spill-free.
Sadly not. We’re still working on improving accessibility at Theatrebarn, but we’d love to help make your visit as smooth as possible. If you have specific requirements, please reach out to us ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. However, there are quite a few steps all around the building.
Only if it is ok that if they have had a bad day, they can take it out on you! In all seriousness, we do not tolerate rudeness, impoliteness or raised voices and neither should you. If you have any issues or concerns, please ask to see someone who might be able to help you.
