Art Deco theatre overlooking the Surrey Hills.
Big on comedy & live music, 3 cinema screens & cafe.
Serving the community for more than 85 years.
Designed by architect Percy W. Meredith, our striking Art Deco venue was built in 1931 to house the Leith Hill Musical Festival and host renowned composer Ralph Vaughan Williams’ staging of Bach’s St Matthew Passion.
The venue was designed to host a range of community events. It comprised three Halls: the Masonic, the Martineau and the impressive Grand; all of which remain today.
The Grand can seat 900 people, and its original stage could accommodate 300 singers and a full orchestra. The acoustics were exceptional and there was also a fully-sprung dance floor.
Dorking Halls will be running an exciting three day theatre workshop this summer for ages 7-13 years old.
These will take place at Pippbrook House with a performance on the last day at the Green Room Theatre.
Workshops will include Acting, Singing and Dancing working towards a showcase to perform to an invited audience on stage.
