The Mill is a 10 min drive from Reading. It is set on the banks of the River Thames and the Mill at Sonning Theatre now celebrates more than 30 years of entertainment. Uniquely, as the only dinner theatre in the United Kingdom, it has gained unrivalled praise both nationally and internationally.
Many new plays premiere here from established to young up-and-coming writers. All productions are created on the premises. Nothing is ‘brought in’. Rehearsal rooms buzz with activity. Sets are built in their workshops. Costumes designed and made in their wardrobe.
The intimate theatre seats 215 in the semi-round allowing the audience to feel involved in the performance. The elegant restaurant, separate from the theatre but within the premises, with views over the sparkling Thames, has the friendliest young staff of waiters and waitresses. A spinning water wheel features in the cosy bar.
The Mill is completely self-sufficient. No sponsors, no grants – not a penny of taxpayers’ money supports them. They live on our patronage at the box office.
