Bonington Theatre
The Bonington Theatre, an integral part of the Arnold Leisure Centre complex, first opened its doors to the public in 1982. However, in recent years, the theatre has faced potential closure due to the need for significant refurbishments within the larger leisure complex. The Bonington Theatre is a versatile studio theatre, featuring a curtained end stage and a flat auditorium floor equipped with retractable raked seating. This unique design allows for flexibility in accommodating different types of performances and events. Despite the challenges it faces, the Bonington Theatre remains a cherished part of the local community, continuing its tradition of providing a space for creativity and entertainment.
