FARNHAM THEATRE ASSOCIATION
Welcome to the FTA campaign for a new theatre for Farnham!
Following the loss of the Redgrave Theatre, in the absence of a replacement, our website Performance Hub offers you links to over 60 local amateur and professional theatre creators, productions and venues within a 60 mile radius of Farnham.
FTA requires Farnham’s nationally acclaimed reputation for theatre to be preserved and we protect the archives of The Castle and the Redgrave Theatres.

There is a petition on Change.org calling for a consultation and public debate about the development of the Woolmead site in East Street, Farnham. This is the most likely place where a new theatre could be built - Michael Holden has already produced an outline plan for this.
​
The current owner of the site, Homes England, is progressing towards selecting a preferred bidder for the site without any meaningful public consultation with residents, local businesses, councillors, our local MP or wider community stakeholders.
​
This petition has already attracted over 600 signatures - we would urge you to add your name to it in order to at least give us the opportunity to argue the case for including a performing arts venue within the plans for the site.

Lets see if we can get to more than 1000 signatures!
