In a surprising space you will find the Valley Community Theatre in Netherley, kept intact after the demolition of the school in 2000.
Following the school's closure in the early 1990s, the theatre, a registered charity, has been supporting the community since 1994 in more ways than the drama and excitement of theatre. It hosts a range of projects including food poverty relief activities for local children, working with people with disabilities, filmmaking, dance and more.
One-act play festivals, dance shows and in-house shows are staged at the venue including this year's panto, Babes in the Wood. This will close the season ahead of future plans to extend as a community resource, a refurbishment of the building and its auditorium including a Creative Cafe.
