Winding Wheel

Ogólne informacje

Winding Wheel The building that is now the Winding Wheel was once a thriving cinema originally named The Picture House and built in 1923 to the design of Sheffield architect Harold J Shepherd. In 1930 the building was extended, and a large Ballroom with sprung dance floor was added and the proscenium arch was lavishly redesigned. In 1987, Chesterfield Borough Council purchased and completely refurbished the building and reopened it as the Winding Wheel. In 2000 the Winding Wheel was made a Grade II listed Building. We present a diverse arts and entertainment programme including West End musicals, comedy shows, concerts, dance, opera, illustrated talks and a wide range of community events. The Pomegranate Theatre A delightful Victorian 546-seat proscenium arch theatre housed in the Grade II listed [George] Stephenson Memorial Hall. Established in 1949 this is the country’s oldest civic theatre with Chesterfield Borough Council continuing the proud tradition of providing a year round programme of professional touring and high quality local amateur productions. Over the course of a theatregoing year we aim to make audiences laugh, cry and debate.
