I have had a good think and the above image is the only one that I recall featuring the workshop. Here you can see some members of the cast painting the set for Fiddler on the Roof on a snowy day. Our members have braved wind and snow and rain in order to put in the work that is needed to make our shows happen but that is only made possible by having space to work in.
Over the years our workshop has been invaluable to us. It has provided us with a space to store our props, costumes, lights and other equipment, both in the main space (pictured above) and in the containers that surround it. Our former patron, David Liddiard did us a great service in providing us with an area of his land for our workshop and we are very grateful for the years of use we got out of it.
However, the time has come when the land is being sold and we need to find a new location. Although a planning application has been submitted, a new location is yet to be confirmed.

Although we don't have a place to move, we have had to leave the site where the workshop stood.
A team of theatre company members have been working every weekend for over a month to move everything off the site- set, props, lights, costumes, containers .... and even the building itself.

So currently a great number of props and staging have ended up at in the swimming pool.... literally.
We are fortunate enough to have temporary storage in Hungerford Primay School's unused swimming pool and it is from here that the sets for our upcoming three productions have been built and painted. Due to these changes it has been more complicated than it usually is but the shows must go on!
