Weybridge Society representatives Dave Arnold, Niall Gallagher and Nick Thripp, who are all involved in the Weybridge Fair & Arts Festival Organising Team, were invited by Weybridge Hall’s new owner, Charlie Swift of Swift Entertainment for a tour of the building and a preview of his plans on Tuesday 4th October.
Swift Entertainment has recently purchased Weybridge Hall. The plan is to convert this lovely historic building into an Edwardian style classic theatre.
The new theatre will host a wide selection of plays, musicals, ballet performances, comedy and will bring in a variety of nationally well-known performers. The theatre with offer a capacity of over 300 comfortable, fixed seats.
The building will house a function room, two bars, a dance studio and music rehearsal rooms, all of which will be available for general hire.
This new asset to the Weybridge high street is expected to bring additional footfall to the town centre and provide a boost to local businesses.
Work on the new theatre will start in early 2023.
Swift Entertainment also owns Esher Theatre.
