Congleton Players

The theatre group is a member of the National Operatic and Dramatic Association.

[4][5] The first production by the Congleton Players was Polly with a Past which was performed at Congleton Town Hall between 25 and 28 March 1936, all proceeds from Polly with a Past went to the Mayor's fund for Poor Children's Outing.

[7] In the 1970s the Congleton Players were given notice that their "home" would be demolished because of the building of the then new inner relief road Mountbatten Way.

[11] In the years between the demolition of their theatre and the opening of Daneside Theatre the Congleton Players used Trinity Church Hall for their performances, and rented West Lodge from Cheshire County Council which was used to hold auditions amongst other things.

[5] In 2017 it was announced that it was planned that the then Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sport, Tourism and Civil Society John Glen MP, would attend the Congleton Players' 300th production.
