Codford's theatre started life as a wool storage warehouse, but was converted around 1906 into a cinema; many Australian and New zealand troops stationed in the village during WWI visited it. It was then converted again into the village hall once peace broke out. Colonel Ralph Sneyd moved to Codford and converted the hall into a theatre, largely for the use of his second wife. Although the theatre has become part of the community, it remains a working theatre today. Grade II listed.
