Chequer Mead Theatre celebrates its 30th birthday with a special gala on Thursday 5 November 2026. The East Grinstead theatre first opened in November 1996 and continues to host performances, community events and opportunities for local performers.
Celebrating three decades of community theatre

The theatre highlights the contribution of its staff and more than 70 regular volunteers, whose work helps make a wide programme of professional and community performances possible.
