Grand opening of the Holme Amphitheatre, now available to book for outdoor performances.


Actress Joanne David Officially to open new grass amphitheatre at Holme


On a beautiful summer evening in July, our first performance was held in the brand new outdoor arena. A large number of guests enjoyed canapés and prosecco by the ponds before being led down through the gardens by the Wareham Town Crier and into the amphitheatre where they spread themselves over the grass terraces to await the performance.

After a short opening ceremony, the crowd were entertained by some extremely talented local youngsters from the Top Notes Youth Theatre based in Wareham. Their group tutor Emma Aldir opened the show with a commanding rendition of “Cabaret”. The youngsters then enthralled the audience with a selection of well known songs from musicals. A thoroughly enjoyable evening was had by all.

Joanna David took time out from her busy schedule to be at Holme and lead the celebration. She said “I felt so privileged to be asked because I have seen Holme grow and develop over the years into the beautiful place it is today. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful facility right on our doorstep and this new performance venue will be a fantastic asset for the community.”

The grass theatre could easily accommodate a seated audience of 500 and more for a standing concert. The outdoor sound system worked perfectly and it is now hoped to attract a range of performers to put on plays, jazz, blues, classical and folk concerts as well as being made available to local schools, community groups and charities for fund raising events. Whatever takes your fancy really!
