Christ Church Community Hall
Beaver Road, Ashford, Kent, TN23 7SR

Opening Times

Our theatre opens especially for performances. Unless your ticket says otherwise, our bar will welcome you 45 minutes before the show starts, and the auditorium doors will open 30 minutes before curtain up.

Food and Drink

Arrive a little early and enjoy a drink or a snack from our licensed bar. We serve hot, soft, and alcoholic drinks, plus treats like popcorn, crisps, sweets, and chocolates. We kindly ask that you don’t bring your own food and drink, and we’d be very grateful if you could pop your rubbish in the bins provided to keep the theatre tidy for the next audience. We accept cash, card, and contactless payments.

Photos & Recordings

To protect our performers and keep the magic alive, we ask that you don’t take photos, videos, or recordings during the show. Anyone doing so will be asked to stop, and in some cases may be asked to leave. Thank you for helping us keep live theatre special!

Parking

Parking at the theatre itself is very limited, so we recommend car sharing, walking, or using public transport if you can. Some roadside parking is available nearby—just please be considerate of our neighbours.

If you are driving, our closest car park is Adley's Yard Car Park on Beaver Road. The larger car parks: Victoria Road Car Park, Elwick Road Car Park, and Dover Place Car Park are all also within a 10-15 minute walk. Even better, according to the council website, they're free after 6pm!

Accessible Parking

We do have a small number of disabled parking spaces at the theatre. These can be reserved in advance by calling us on 01233 280310.

Travel by Bus

The nearest bus stop is 'Christchurch Road' which is approximately 1 minute walk from the theatre.

Hotels

If you're staying overnight, the nearest hotel is the Hampton by Hilton, located on the corner of Beaver Road and Victoria Road - only a short stroll from us.

We believe theatre has the power to bring people together, to spark imaginations, and to create moments that last a lifetime. Our mission is to share that magic with the Ashford community through a vibrant programme of live performances—including our much-loved annual family pantomime every January.

While Ashford may not yet have its own dedicated theatre building, we see that as an opportunity, not a limitation. With vision, creativity, and a little bit of theatre magic, we transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary stages—places where stories come alive and audiences feel at home.

At the heart of it all is our incredible team of performers, creators, and volunteers. Together, we prove what's possible when passion meets community. And there's always room for more—whether on stage, backstage, or behind the scenes, we'd love you to be part of the journey.
