The building dates from the 1820s and was originally a non-conformist chapel until it was converted into a school. Between the wars it was a wine store and was later a general store called graveleys until purchased in 1976 by the Hurstpierpoint Players, a local amateur dramatic society who had formed in 1936 and played at various venues around the village. It opened the following year providing the village with theatre productions ever since.
