Most theatres come with an interesting history, the Woolstore is no exception! It was, as its name suggests, an old building used from 1758 to collect all the fleeces from the local farms, grade and store them until they were ready to be taken to the mill for washing and eventual weaving. The building has since been used as the village hall, Sergeant's mess, dance hall, private theatre and is now a community theatre.
