Welcome
Welcome to Holt Players – Where Creativity Takes Centre Stage!
We are Holt Players, a friendly and vibrant drama society based in the picturesque village of Holt, Wiltshire, in the Southwest of England.
Formerly known as Holt Dramatic Society, we’ve been bringing the magic of theatre to life for over 50 years—and we’re still going strong! After a brief pause, we’re back with fresh ideas, a dynamic committee, and a new name that reflects our growing passion for theatre, musicals, and community entertainment.
But Holt Players is more than just a theatre group—we’re a creative hub for anyone who loves performing, producing, designing, or simply supporting local theatre. Whether you’re eager to take centre stage, work behind the scenes, or just enjoy a fantastic night out, there’s a place for you here.
From plays, musicals, and live music performances to family-friendly entertainment and social events, we’re expanding our repertoire and inviting new members and Friends of Holt Players to join us.
If you’ve ever wanted to be involved in a show—on stage, backstage, front of house, or simply cheering from the audience—Holt Players is the perfect place to get involved and have fun!

Discover the Magic of Theatre – On Stage or Behind the Scenes!
Theatre isn’t just about acting—it’s about creativity, teamwork, and bringing stories to life. At Holt Players, there are countless ways to get involved, whether you love performing or prefer working behind the scenes.
Want to take the stage? We’re always looking for actors to bring our productions to life. But if being in the spotlight isn’t your thing, don’t worry—there are plenty of other ways to get stuck in! Maybe you’re great with costumes, make-up, props, or set design. Perhaps you’d enjoy helping with lighting, sound, stage management, or publicity. Even lending a hand with refreshments, front-of-house, or programme selling is a fantastic way to be part of the action.
We welcome enthusiastic people of all ages and backgrounds, whether you have experience in amateur theatre or are looking for an exciting new hobby.
Most of our productions take place in Holt Village Hall, but we also love staging open-air performances in beautiful settings such as The Courts National Trust gardens, Phyllis Cottage, and The Glove Factory, making every show a unique experience.
