NVT Archives
The New Venture Theatre in Bedford Place, Brighton has been in existence since the 1950s. Prior to this the group was known as The Brighton and Hove Players, who staged productions in various locations.
Over the years we have accumulated a vast amount of information, images and documentation of the theatre, productions etc. We are in the process of archiving this information and, where possible, creating digital copies. Over the coming months we will create an online archive here for members and non-members to share with us some of the events that have taken place at the New Venture Theatre over those years.
Below are links to various aspects of these archives and more will appear as the process continues. If you have any programmes, photos or other memories of past productions that you would be happy to share with us please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
