Barn Theatre

A thriving, non-professional, theatre company in Welwyn Garden City, staging at least 10 full-length productions a year in a modern 122 seat auditorium within a 17th century barn. Some of the wooden beams at the theatre have been carbon dated to the 16th Century - it really is a beautiful place. There is also a Studio Theatre seating approximately 50 (depending on the presentation) producing all year round. Another wonderful addition to their programme is the Welwyn Drama Festival and the WGC Youth Drama Festival - both drama competitions. Four thriving Youth Groups also operate at the Barn and the building is regularly used as a film location or a Unti Base for film production companies.
