Welcome to Forest Forge
Theatre Company

Forest Forge has been touring work for 30 years. Every year thousands of people gather in theatres, village halls, schools and art centres to be inspired, excited and, above all, entertained by our work. We are based in a purpose-built theatre centre in Ringwood, on the edge of the New Forest National Park.

Our ambition is simple: to create theatre that embraces, reflects and challenges the many communities we engage with. The defining ideas are quality and inclusiveness - in dialogue with artists, audiences and the wider community. We strive to create inspiring, dynamic and innovative work that invests in artists, integrates participatory work and is a vital hub in the theatre landscape for making new work.

Forest Forge creates at least 3 productions a year and has a large creative learning programme attached. We have a strong commitment to new writing and we commission and produce work from both emerging and established playwrights.

We are a regularly funded organisation of the Arts Council as well as receiving funding from Hampshire County Council and the New Forest District Council.

Forest Forge creates innovative theatre that:

• Embraces its home in the New Forest
• Integrates its programme of high quality touring and participatory work
• Nurtures and showcases new writing by both emerging and established writers
• Engages artists, audiences & partners in open dialogue
