Hurstpierpoint

Hurst Players: are launching ‘The Big Push’ to raise the rest of the funds needed to upgrade and refurbish the Players Theatre in the High Street. It is a wonderful asset to the village and often the first experience of live theatre for young people in the form of the annual pantomime. The Players put on productions of all sorts throughout the year and the Theatre also hosts the brilliant Village Cinema, all sorts of Festival events, and many other cultural happenings throughout the year. Hurstpierpoint is very unusual in that we have our own purpose built theatre. It will be even better when the work is done. If you can help in any way, or would like to know more about the plans, please contact Richard Coney, who is leading the fundraising efforts, on :- [email protected] or 01273 835128.
