This afternoon, the Planning Inspectorate informed Titchfield Festival Theatre that its appeal against Fareham Borough Council’s enforcement notice on the Arden Theatre was unsuccessful. The Oak and Acorn theatres are unaffected by this decision and will continue.

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director and Chair of Trustees said:

“I am clearly broken hearted at the decision from the Planning Inspectorate. The country will lose one of its greatest community arts assets and Shakespeare must be turning in his grave!  In light of this decision, I will speak to our Trustees and fully evaluate the outcome before commenting further. In the meantime however, we’d love to see you at what will possibly be the last show in the Arden theatre – Made in Dagenham. We promise you plenty of fun, laughter and music! But remember we still have the Oak and Acorn theatres which will continue our great tradition of brilliant art and drama for our community ”

Made in Dagenham performs in the Arden Theatre, Titchfield Festival Theatre between 6 – 14 September 2024. For more information including booking tickets please go to http://titchfieldfestivaltheatre.com/  or contact our Box Office on 0333 666 3366.
