Earl’s Court used to be a very transient, inner city area where neighbours passed each other by without a glance. Toby Brown, Keith Clancey, Jennifer Ware and a few locals decided to change all that and created our charity, The Earl’s Court Community Trust.

The trust has grown over the years and our annual projects include a hugely successful film festival, multiple theatre productions and garden concerts as well as open air film screenings for the community to enjoy.

The Earl’s Courtiers have been performing since 2012. We have numerous theatre projects on the go and are extremely lucky to have a very talented creative team. Toby Brown, Kristen Gaetz-Riva, Mariela Manso and Inge Marks regularly produce and direct sell out shows in the local gardens, pubs and church halls.
This has made a huge difference to our local community in particular families who get an opportunity to be part of our summer show or come along and enjoy the classics, everything from Shakespeare to well known musicals.

In 2014 Caroline Tod-Richardson, Sean Duffy and Toby Brown founded the Earl’s Court International Film Festival. Since then they have helped to make numerous highly successful short films, many of which have gone on to win highly acclaimed Film Festival Awards. Attendance at the festivals continues to grow year on year and it’s another highlight in the local communities social calendar.

We are always finding great ways to connect with the local community through our programme of garden concerts, special celebratory sports and cultural events, Christmas carol concerts. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events very soon!
