At the heart of Ingatestone & Fryerning Community Centre, this space is used week in, week out by local groups, performers, and the wider community. But like many well-loved spaces, it needs some care, investment, and a vision for the future.

We have big ambitions to improve the theatre and make it an even better place for everyone – from upgraded lighting and sound to improved accessibility and even exploring ways to make the space more comfortable all year round. Works are due to start in mid-May, and we’re fundraising now to complete as much as possible during this initial phase. How much we can achieve depends on the support we receive.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us take a step closer. And if you can’t donate, sharing this would mean just as much ❤️

Let’s come together to support a space that brings so much to our community – and help it thrive for the next generation.
