Theatre

The stage at the Pomegranate Theatre The Pomegranate and Winding Wheel theatres are both grade 2 listed buildings. The Pomegranate is a Victorian 546 seater proscenium arch theatre offering a wide range of professional touring and local amateur productions. The Winding Wheel was restored in the late 1980's by Chesterfield Borough Council to provide a much needed multi purpose venue. Both venues have packed programmes of music, comedy and drama.
