Leatherhead Theatre, Modernist theatre in Leatherhead, England.
Leatherhead Theatre is a performance venue housed in a Grade II listed building with modernist design in Surrey. The auditorium holds nearly 500 seats and provides wheelchair access, making it available to different audiences.
The building was originally a cinema from the 1930s, later converted into a theatre space and opened in 1969. After temporary closure, it was restored through community effort and reopened in 2001.
The venue draws audiences for local productions, musicals, and seasonal pantomimes, making it a gathering place for theatre lovers in town. The stage hosts both established artists and amateur groups, giving the space a mixed and active character.
The theatre is centrally located and easy to reach; visitors should check the programme in advance. Accessible facilities are available, with wheelchair users able to bring companions.
The theatre owes its survival to citizen action that prevented permanent closure in 1997. Local initiative created a charity that made reopening possible and continues to run the venue today.
