Norden Farm Centre for the Arts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norden Farm Centre for the Arts is an arts centre located in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. Following calls for an arts centre in Maidenhead since the 1970s, Norden Farm eventually opened in September 2000.
When the centre opened, Norden Farm could boast state-of-the-art facilities that consisted of a courtyard theatre (seating 225), studio theatre (seating 100), meeting rooms, art gallery, long barn (workshop/meeting space), a media suite, restaurant and bar area.
Under the current direction of Annabel Turpin, the art centre has built up an outstanding reputation within the Maidenhead community, with a number of top professionals from the worlds of theatre, cabaret, comedy, jazz, classical music and literature performing there.
In 2005 the centre started a series of monthly cabaret nights, with a number of well known West End performers being booked.
