The Backyard Theatre is based in the recently renovated double skittle alley behind the Radio Museum in Anchor Street. This is the brain child of partners: Neil Wilson and Cath Cooper - both with extensive theatre experience who for many years dreamt of creating such a space in Watchet. The Backyard Theatre not only intends to provide a not-for-profit venue for those in the locality who have an inkling to perform, but for incoming touring theatre companies. We launch the theatre November 2024 with two fabulous touring  shows courtesy of the Watchet Task Force.

We welcome new members who are interested in acting, directing or just supporting, and would also be delighted to welcome anyone keen on constructing sets, assisting with costumes or working backstage. Please contact us by email if you’re interested.
