Tweed Theatre

Local amateur theatre group

We are a community theatre group, based in Peebles at the heart of the Borders. Tweed Theatre began in 1979 with a conversation between Bill Harvey, a community policeman, and Paul Taylor, local librarian, in Peebles Library. Subsequently, at a meeting in Bill's house just before New Year in 1979, eleven interested individuals agreed to establish the group.

Bill was very much the driving force in the early years and within 12 months an evening of short plays and a pantomime had been produced.

The group gone on to become one of the biggest one of its kind in the Borders.
