THE VALLEY PLAYERS – An Important Announcement

The Valley Players are extremely sad to announce that the group is folding with immediate effect.  Our planned November 2023 production has been cancelled and tickets are no longer being sold.

The Valley Players have been well known in Seaton Delaval and beyond for almost 60 years. Our audiences were appreciative from the very first production, when the Community Centre was packed out to watch Beside the Seaside by Leslie Sands way back in September 1965. They have been loyal to us ever since. We have provided an enjoyable hobby for our many members over the years, with lasting friendships being formed and many happy memories being created.

But both our membership and audience numbers have declined in recent years, and it has become ever more expensive to stage productions.  Unfortunately this means that we are no longer viable as a group, and we have decided to call it a day.

We thank everyone involved over the years, whether you were active in the society or came to see us perform.  We also thank the Community Centre itself for providing the only home we’ve had since our inception. We could not have done it without you!

While we are no longer actively rehearsing or staging productions, you can still send us a message here and we will pass it on accordingly.
