Broadway Arts Festival Exhibition
150 Finalists from the Broadway Arts Festival Annual art competition form an exclusive selling exhibition from 26th September-5th October 2025, open daily from 11am – 4pm. Entry to the exhibition is free, so come along to see some amazing art on display, and everything is for sale! Some of the finalists will be demonstrating live during the exhibition.

Gaslight
Bretforton Amateur Dramatics Presents Patrick Hamilton's classic thriller, Gaslight® - a gripping tale of secrets and deception. Set in Victorian London, the play follows Bella Manningham, whose sanity is shaken as her husband, Jack, manipulates her perception of the truth. With each dimming of the gaslights, the tension mounts in a chilling exploration of the darkness that hides behind closed doors. A timeless psychological drama, this production promises an evening of intrigue, mystery and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
"Kemono Michi" - Path of the Wild Animals
Leonard Eto, one of the world's most accomplished and innovative contemporary Taiko players and ex Artistic Director of Kodo drummers, returns to the UK. This time he brings his internationally award-winning collaboration with classically trained ballerina lori Tadokoro in their performance fusing the power and sensitivity of Taiko with the grace and elegance of dance. As well as a path trodden by animals in the wild, “Kemono Michi” means to choose a different way of life…let the sound of the Japanese drums lead you on this journey. Support by Futari Taiko, featuring James Barrow of TaikoWest and Teresa Brookes of PlayTaiko.

Some FAQs
We’re tucked away at the end of the private drive to Bretforton Grange, just off Main Street (the B4035) as you enter Bretforton from the Evesham direction. Look for the corner of Main Street and Coldicotts Lane, and if your sat-nav is having trouble, Google Maps will guide you right to our door! We recommend using this link, clicking ‘directions’ and entering your starting point: Theatrebarn - Google Maps
Alternatively, our what three words address is: ///twisty.punctual.comet
Just a heads up: the driveway is unlit, but if you follow it to the end, you’ll spot the Theatrebarn gates. Turn slightly right, and you’ll find parking and the Main Entrance.
Absolutely! We have some parking spots around the site, but they can fill up quickly, especially with a full house. If you can share transport with friends or come by other means, we’d really appreciate it – that way, we can save the spaces for those who need them the most.
There is a bar just to the right as you enter the building stocked with wine, beer, spirits and a variety of soft drinks.
We’ve got a selection of snacks like crisps and nuts at the bar to curb hunger pains, but if you’re after something more substantial, we highly recommend the world-renowned Fleece Inn just around the corner in the village– it’s one of our favourites!
The bar opens an hour before the show starts, so feel free to come early, grab a drink, and have a natter. We'd love to see you and say hello!
You sure can! Feel free to bring your drink into the auditorium once the show begins, but we kindly ask that you transfer it into one of our plastic cups to keep things safe and spill-free.
Sadly not. We’re still working on improving accessibility at Theatrebarn, but we’d love to help make your visit as smooth as possible. If you have specific requirements, please reach out to us ahead of time, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you. However, there are quite a few steps all around the building.
Only if it is ok that if they have had a bad day, they can take it out on you! In all seriousness, we do not tolerate rudeness, impoliteness or raised voices and neither should you. If you have any issues or concerns, please ask to see someone who might be able to help you.
