A Very Stinky Summer

Last week a Chickenshed company of 14 finished the last few performances of a six-week tour, which ended in the beautiful Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli, Wales. Our fantastic company has travelled far and wide this summer. The tour is an important landmark for our Theatre and Performance work in many ways, but it has been great to see our work introduced to new audiences throughout the country who have never have had the opportunity to actually see our inclusive work in action.

We Are Chickenshed

Chickenshed is an amazing organisation, which for 45 years has been built upon the stories of the thousands and thousands of people who count themselves part of our community. These short films shine a light on just a few of these individuals, and serve to highlight how Chickenshed stands for one unique proposition – that we can all choose to create a better world where everyone is welcome and everyone is included.

Your Support Matters

As the world around us seems to become increasingly divided, Chickenshed gives us a glimpse of how different things could be. Through inclusion, equality, diversity, and creativity, we can change perspectives and broaden horizons.
Food and Drink

The Cafe at Chickenshed is a brand new venture, offering fresh and healthy food, as well as delicious treats. Every purchase made at the cafe helps to support the work of Chickenshed.
Access Information

Access is at the centre of Chickenshed's vision. We aim to offer a warm welcome to everyone, and to ensure that all our activities are as accessible as possible to the widest number of people. We offer a reduced rate to patrons attending specifically for Access Performances (captioned, audio-described, sign language interpreted). Similarly, we offer wheelchair users the reduced rate to sit in the designated wheelchair areas in the stalls.
History

In 1974, musician and composer Jo Collins met teacher and director Mary Ward. Sharing a belief that everyone should be able to perform and create, they set up a theatre company.
What is Inclusive Theatre?

We want to break down the barriers between people, and create a world without labels and where differences no longer divide. We bring people together who would otherwise never meet, never get to know each other.
Our Mission and Vision

Chickenshed is a pioneering and inclusive company that makes beautiful and inspirational theatre. We bring together people of all ages and from all backgrounds to produce outstanding theatre that entertains, inspires, challenges and informs both audiences and participants alike.
