Chequer Mead Theatre is a registered charity and a vital community resource at the heart of East Grinstead, dedicated to enriching lives through access to the arts, culture and creative learning. Over the years, the theatre has grown into a vibrant hub of cultural activity, supporting both professional and amateur productions and welcoming local talent alongside touring companies.
