Earl’s Courtiers

Local theatre with community at it’s heart.

How it all started

In 2013, Toby Brown founded a wonderful, local Amateur Dramatic Group. It started with an idea to put on a Shakespeare in one of our beautiful gardens and has grown into so much more.

We soon realised the community had a real appetite for live theatre. Our incredibly talented community have helped us to create better shows year on year.

In 2015 we invited children from various local schools to join and since we’ve created great shows which reflect our diverse community.

What makes us different

No membership fees mean that everyone has an equal opportunity to be part of our community projects
