About Us

We are a friendly and energetic community theatre group based in the village of Detling, Near Maidstone, Kent, England.

Our regular programme includes an outdoor Shakespeare production every two years and a "family" show in Detling Village Hall around Christmas time each year.

In addition, we present a wide range of plays - comedies, murder mysteries and serious dramas. Look at the list of productions in our archive.

"Search for the Christ Child"

It’s a popular event with crowds of spectators and finishes with hot drinks and mince pies in the Village Hall.

Starts at St Martin's Church at 3:30 pm.
