The Warehouse Theatre

Converted from a fruit warehouse in the 1980's, The Warehouse Theatre is Ilminster's hidden theatrical gem. Owned and run by Ilminster Entertainments Society (IES) a registered charity, the Warehouse seats 150 in a fully raked auditorium with wheelchair access, boasts professional standard lighting, and with its enticing bar is known as one of the most charming theatres in Somerset. IES presents six productions a year aiming to give a varied programme from comedies to dramatic thrillers, one act plays to the family favourite Christmas show and regularly win plaudits for their efforts at the Somerset Fellowship of Drama's awards ceremonies. IES also supports a busy Youth Theatre group encouraging future generations of theatre lovers. In addition, the Warehouse hosts performances by professional touring performers and other local groups giving Ilminster year round entertainment.
