The Watermill Theatre creates great shows that our audiences love. From our home in a converted Watermill in rural Berkshire, we have produced award-winning work that has been recognised throughout the UK and abroad. We have enjoyed West End transfers and national and international tours and given directors and creative teams the space to develop new work.

We are proud to be a leading force in cultivating the theatre-makers of tomorrow. Our ethos is based on a sense of community, with acting companies, stage management and creative teams living and working on site. This environment demands a commitment to the work that encourages a true sense of ensemble that is visible on stage. Our intimate, 220 seat auditorium also means that there is a remarkably strong connection between the actors and the audience making this theatre a very special place to visit.

Our belief that everyone deserves a chance has led to a thriving education and participation programme, which works with around 16,000 people every year at The Watermill and in the wider community.

We rely on ongoing support from our donors which enable us to  fully deliver our artistic programme. Without it we would struggle to survive. Your support is crucial to the theatre now and in the future so please donate if you can.  Thank you.
