Priory Theatre Fire 50th Anniversary Ball

Saturday 26th September 2026
Venue: Nailcote Hall, Warwickshire

Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most significant moments in Priory Theatre's history.

On 4th September 1976, a devastating fire gutted the Priory, destroying years of hard work and dedication. Undeterred, members rallied together to rebuild the theatre, creating the wonderful venue we know today and making significant improvements throughout, particularly to the backstage facilities.

To commemorate the the event, we invite members, friends and family to join us for a memorable Anniversary Ball at Nailcote Hall.

The evening will include:

  • A welcome reception

  • Three-course meal (select meal choices when booking)

  • Music and dancing

  • A live band

  • The opportunity to catch up with friends old and new

  • Dress code smart / black tie

We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with you.
