Playhouse 2

Playhouse 2 sits in Greenfield as a proper working theatre, the kind of place where you'll catch everything from amateur productions to touring shows. It's intimate - not one of those sprawling regional theatres - which means you're actually close enough to see the performers' faces without squinting.

The appeal here is straightforward. If you're into live performance, this delivers the goods. Local amateur groups, school productions, the odd professional touring piece - it's got that community theatre energy that can be surprisingly good. Theatre types will appreciate the setting; families with kids old enough to sit through a show without fidgeting will find it worth an evening. Fair warning: it's not a glitzy West End experience, but that's rather the point.

Honestly, opening hours and admission prices aren't readily available online, which is a bit frustrating - you'll need to ring ahead or check their notice board to see what's on and how much it costs. Allow a couple of hours if you're planning an evening out, including arrival and a pre-show pint elsewhere in town.

It works nicely as a cultural addition if you're basing yourself at Dovestone Holiday Park five miles away. Pair it with a walk around the local area and you've got a proper evening sorted. Not a pilgrimage destination on its own, but if you're already in Greenfield, it's worth checking what's running.
