FINALLY! Having had it since we opened, we've finally got a brand new logo. Designed Guy Sanders, who has beautifully designed all the imagery and print across our new season. To say we're in love with all of it, would be an understatement. He's an artist and a genius.

Also, for the first time, we're offering £3 preview tickets to people on Job Seekers Allowance, and will be offering free matinee performances for isolated older people in our community across the whole season!

This season we're offering audiences more than ever before, with more of our shows having Stagetext captioned and relaxed performances! You can browse the full list here: https://goo.gl/C8qygo. Thanks to the mighty Arts Council England for making it all possible.

No NDT season would be complete without Incoming Festival. In 2019, we're really going to shake-up what has become the most popular festival for emerging theatre companies in the country. With the full line-up and details to be announced later in the year.

Watched He Had Hairy Hands. Not laughed so much in years. Better than Monty Python!!

Very friendly staff and a great space for creative performances and workshops

Secret Life of Humans was incredible. Ed Fest 2017

Loved this small, friendly theatre, watched Plastic Figurines & the intimate venue was the perfect setting. The play was delicate, thought provoking & very touchingly delivered by Vanessa Schofield & Jamie Samuels. I dont think there was a dry eye in the house on the night we were there.

Love this place. Always interesting and powerful pieces, with a wonderful and friendly front of house. I now book for everything if I can as never seen anything I didn't like.

Love this place, well worth checking out :)

Just been to see Plastic Figurines with my 16 year old son, we loved it, very powerful with fabulous acting!

Great space, great shows, great people. Thank god this place exists.

Great service. Great drink options and excellent all round

Great

Excellent space, excellent theatre, excellent experience.
