| ARLINGTON ARTS, NEWBURY |
|
|
Arlington Arts Centre opened in October 2006, with singer KT Tunstall being both the guest of honour and the first artist to perform on stage - alongside students from Mary Hare.
The venue has since maintained a strong reputation for its sometimes daring programme of live music, featuring breaking artists and emerging talent alongside better known performers.
The programme of live events is diverse, offering high quality comedy, visual arts, theatre and family entertainment. However the emphasis still remains on extraordinary experiences that have yet to make it to the mainstream.
It is situated at Mary Hare School, a national centre of excellence supporting the oral education of deaf children. 
In the grounds of Mary Hare School, south of J13 of the M4. From motorway follow signs for Donnington and the school is signed.

| TWYFORD AND RUSCOMBE THEATRE GROUP |
|
|
We are a small friendly group of people, with a wide range of ages and backgrounds, who come together to enjoy a good social life and the thrill of staging real live theatre productions.
The group was formed in 1967 by village stalwart Sybil Stephenson. Co-incidentally it was around this time that the old boys school in the village centre was vacated by the children and so we leased it from the Polehampton Trust. It has been the focus for all the groups activities ever since and is perfect for our needs. Loddon Hall was also built around this time and became the normal venue for our productions.
A certain times of the year we can be very busy, but new members are the life blood of the group and are always welcome.
