Welcome to Sharnbrook Mill Theatre
The Mill is a friendly, inclusive, open and award-winning community theatre, entirely run by volunteers and located in Bedfordshire, UK. You can read about our Mission and Values here.
We produce four in-house shows each year in our historic theatre which was converted from an old mill. Alongside our productions, we host social events and workshops for members and welcome bands, dance schools and professional artists to our venue. Find out more here.

8th & 9th December - Take Another Dip
As 2023 is our 80th anniversary, we are celebrating with a cabaret of members performing songs from many of our previous shows. This will take place in the Studio with tables arranged "club style" with a maximum of eight people per table.
The cost will be £17, including the cabaret and a fish and chip supper.
It is named Take Another Dip, as the first show we ever performed was Take A Dip, in 1942.
Due to the seating arrangements, please contact Doug Pope to purchase your seat via email: mail@douglaspope.com.
What a way to end our special year! We look forward to celebrating this fundraising event with as many of you as possible.
