You’ll find us just a short stroll from the historic East Grinstead high street and The Bluebell Railway.

Chequer Mead opened in November 1996 and we’ve been providing popular entertainment and arts facilities ever since.

Chequer Mead Theatre is a registered charity and a vital community resource at the heart of East Grinstead, dedicated to enriching lives through access to the arts, culture and creative learning. Over the years, the theatre has grown into a vibrant hub of cultural activity, supporting both professional and amateur productions and welcoming local talent alongside touring companies.

As a charity, our mission is to advance artistic knowledge and foster a lasting appreciation of the arts by providing accessible opportunities for education, participation, and cultural enrichment in the fields of art, craft, music, and drama, for the benefit and enjoyment of the public.

As part of our charitable mission, we deliver a wide range of educational programmes and workshops throughout the year, work closely with local schools by hosting their annual performances, and provide affordable spaces for creativity and wellbeing. Our on-site studios are available for hire and are widely used for rehearsals.
