Wadhurst Dramatic Club

The Club, whose aim is to study and perform any kind of theatrical work, was first started in 1945 and we have been going from strength to strength ever since. The Club has been a member of The National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) for many years and aims to be innovative and enterprising, building on the enthusiastic foundations laid by its founder members. Further details of current and planned activities can be found on the Club's website
