Please see http://www.better.org.uk/leisure/the-beacon-sports-centre-and-theatre for the Centre's website. According to the website the theatre "has 209 seats, is fully equipped, and is available to hire by both amateur and professional theatre groups. It is also ideal for organisations wishing to hold conferences and seminars." Looking at old Ordnance Survey maps the centre was built on the site of the original Holtspur County Primary School, of which Sir Terry Pratchett was once a pupil. Please see this news article on the Bucks Free Press website which also has an oblique aerial photograph of the school, probably taken shortly after its opening in 1951 http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/9007012.Terry_Pratchett_writes_in_to_his_first_school_for_its_60th_birthday/ .
