About Chipping Norton Theatre
Chipping Norton Theatre is a multi-arts venue on Spring Street in the Cotswold market town of Chipping Norton, showing theatre, film, comedy and music alongside a wide programme of art courses and community activities. It is one of the smallest producing theatres in the country, welcoming over 50,000 people a year through its doors. The venue describes itself as the little giant of the arts, a rural venue and producing theatre with doors open to all, making and sharing inspiring performances and transformative creative activities. As a registered charity, Chipping Norton Theatre acts as a driver of social change and community cohesion.
