What's On
Whose Green and Pleasant Land?
Step into history. Find your voice. Be part of something extraordinary.
Are you curious about the stories hidden within our landscape? Would you like to perform, create, connect and collaborate with others in your community? What if theatre wasn’t simply something you watched, but something you belonged to?
We are inviting people of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels to help create this ambitious site-specific performance at Leith Hill Place. Whether you have years of performing experience or have never stepped onto a stage before, there is a place for you here.
As well as performing roles, there will be opportunities to contribute behind the scenes through creative, technical, organisational and support roles. Mentoring opportunities will also be available, enabling participants to work alongside professional artists while developing confidence, skills and experience.
This project is about local people coming together to explore the stories, challenges and possibilities that connect us to this landscape and to one another. Together, we will create something ambitious, meaningful and uniquely rooted in this place.
The journey begins with a relaxed and exploratory workshop on 18 July 2026, followed by Saturday or Sunday rehearsals throughout September (5th, 13th, 19th and 26th). Then comes the performance weekend at Leith Hill Place: a final rehearsal on Saturday 3 October followed by performances on Sunday 4 October.
Whether you want to perform, create, support or simply try something new, we’d love to hear from you!
