Gatton Community Theatre (GCT) specialises in innovative theatre arts. It creates for local audiences highly original productions in exciting or unexpected venues and offers the opportunity for participants to experience and take part in something really unusual as well as the opportunity to work with professional directors and technical teams. The group is unique in this part of Surrey. In the tw

enty years of GCT's existence we have staged both large scale open air promenade and interior site specific productions as well as theatre events for young children and dramatic readings in local churches. GCT operates a policy of inclusiveness; anyone of any age, experience and ability may take part in its productions. Young people continue to play a vital part in productions. In the open air production of 2014 the youngest performer was aged 8 and the eldest over 80. Participation in our theatre projects is open to all wherever they may live. There is no charge of any kind for membership nor a production fee. There may be a charge for special theatre training projects outside our usual programme of productions. Starting in 1999 as an initiative from the Parish of Merstham, GCT was formed to stage a passion play to celebrate the new millennium bringing the story of Jesus Christ, from his baptism to resurrection, to a wide audience in an exciting and different way. A strong moral or spiritual theme or the promotion of a spirit of forgiveness and love remain key objectives and at the heart of our productions. Though now an independent organisation, GCT continues to maintain strong links with the parish. GCT is keen to help raise awareness among participants and audiences of the environment of Gatton Park and its place in local history. Because of this GCT works closely with the Gatton Park Foundation and The Gatton Trust on a number of different projects. GCT's use of the site enables large numbers of people to visit Gatton Park who may otherwise have been unaware of its existence and stunning restoration. Restoration of the grounds is carried out by volunteers.

Save Gatton Town Hall!

Gatton Park is seeking your help to save a Grade II* listed monument in Surrey that represents an important part of Britain’s democratic heritage. The "Town Hall" stood at the heart of one of the country’s most notorious rotten boroughs with two MPs elected by just a handful of voters. The cast-iron Doric Temple with voting urn was used to announce election results, but is now in urgent need of repair.
Time and the weather have taken their toll, and the monument that has stood for 260 years requires stewardship to maintain it for future generations. The wooden friezes around the roof of the building are badly worn and need to be carefully stripped of many layers of paint and rebuilt in places by skilled joiners using the correct heritage materials. The iron pillars are also badly rusted.
The Gatton Trust which manages the heritage parkland needs around £50,000 for the restoration work. We hope to raise at least £2,500 to get the work started from a crowdfunding campaign, offering the public and local businesses the chance to play their part.
You can help by visiting crowdfunder.co.uk and searching for Gatton. Or email us at [email protected] with fundraising ideas.
Thanks for your help.

All members are invited to our annual meeting and cheese and wine party on Friday 16th January. at 7.45pm at Gatton Hall. (If you want to skip the annual meeting and just come for the party then that is fine, that will be from 8.00pm, always good to catch up with GCT friends.)

It would be helpful if you could let us know in advance if you plan to come along so we can get the catering right. Hope you can join us for one or both events.

If you would like a copy of the annual financial statements in advance please email us. They will also be posted on our website 24 hours in advance.
