Sheppey Little Theatre has been run by volunteers since 1975. The building is a lot older as it was opened as a church hall in 1891. It was purchased in 1969 for £1000 and after lots of hard work and help from many local businesses Sheppey Little Theatre was opened by the Minister for the Arts, Hugh Jenkins, MP on Saturday 25 October 1975.
Sheppey Little Theatre is run by Sheppey Entertainments Association which is a registered charity – RCN 1174579. We rely on people supporting us by coming to see shows and those who are generous enough to make donations. Sheppey Little Theatre is run by the community for the community.
WE ARE FULLY ACCESSIBLE FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS AND PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY PROBLEMS
Sheppey Little Theatre is now fully accessible for wheelchair users and others with mobility problems. Entry to the theatre foyer is via a ramp, theatre staff operate a lift to take patrons to the auditorium with space for wheelchairs. There are disabled toilets in the bar area. This work has been completed thanks to the National Lottery (lift) and Grassroots (ramp).
