Independent of any council or applied funding, The Brookside Theatre is entirely self sufficient and exists from donations, ticket sales and membership subscriptions.

Our productions range from Comedy through to Classic plays. Musicals, Tribute Bands and Celebrity appearances (Richard Digance, Paul Daniels, Jess Conrad)

Our patron is David Essex O.B.E.
