Plus: Your chance to win two free tickets to War Horse at the New Wimbledon Theatre
Ooh! I have to pull you up on the Polka Theatre question. It opened as a theatre in 1979, but was actually built as the church hall for Holy Trinity next door, which was consecrated in 1862. It is currently on a long lease to the Polka Theatre.
This is a great fact, Ann! Thank you for letting me know — I’ll make a note of it in the next edition 🙌
I've gone down the rabbit hole - apparently the hall was built in 1926!
