For the last 30 years Forest Forge has been working to bring high quality theatre performances into your local community.  The company is dedicated to providing theatre that everyone can enjoy without travelling too far from home.  Last year over 12500 people enjoyed Forest Forge performances. 

As well as touring theatre productions, Forest Forge runs a Creative Learning programme, bringing theatre to community groups, young people, schools, a local hospice and hard to reach and rurally isolated groups.
