Normansfield Theatre hosts an events programme with a broad range of activities.   Operas, charity musical concerts, choirs and drama productions have taken place this year, and our programme for 2012 is listed in Forthcoming Events.  The theatre is also hired regularly for musical recitals, orchestra groups and other drama groups.  

The Langdon Down Museum of Learning Disability contributes to the public understanding of learning disability through the work of Dr John Langdon Down, Normansfield, the Royal Earlswood Asylum and James Henry Pullen.
