The Waterside Theatre was built in 2001 and was proven beyond valuable to its local community. The theatre delivers children’s theatre, drama, comedy, music and therapy classes for all. Waterside theatre also has a number of ongoing projects, such as the Intergeneration Project that aims to combat issues like isolation, and the Diversity Project that tackles issues like hate crime.
