So how did a little fringe theatre end up above your favourite pub? The Drayton Arms was originally built in 1860 and then rebuilt to its current design in 1891.
In late 2010 it was decided to get the theatre back up and running on a more permanent basis. Work was undertaken to upgrade the space and then in April 2011 the theatre licence was granted and the Drayton Arms Theatre was reopened as a professional fringe venue.
