How it All Began...
- Armed with mops, rubber gloves and spanners, a group of amazing local residents transformed & repurposed an old pizza express into a thriving fringe theatre in the space of just 10 days.
Where We Are Now. . .
Front Room is now an award winning fringe theatre in Weston-super-Mare. Our aim is to present exciting adult and family theatre productions to the Weston community and provide a platform for local artists and theatre companies to share their work in their hometown.
Front Room wants to provide opportunities for people living in and around Weston-super-Mare to be creative, share stories and participate in community projects, as well as getting to see work from around the country being presented on their doorstep.

The Front Room is a fantastic addition to Weston’s cultural scene. The team brings quality work into Weston, which wouldn’t get to be seen otherwise, and provide a unique platform for local artists to perform.

The Front Room is fantastic. I have seen so many brilliant shows there in the short space since they opened. It is brilliant. It is exactly what Weston super Mare has so badly needed. I also love the great variety of shows and they showcase Weston’s own talent.

Great to have this venue in Weston super Mare! On the site of the old pizza express, this theatre has fully accessible facilities and refreshments available on site. We saw a brilliant family show put on by Kid Carpet and the Noisy Animals. Fantastic!
