ABOUT US
Easton Garden Players (formerly the Southwood Players) was established in 2009 and born out of a desire to raise funds for local charities, specifically the local MS Society and the Itchen Valley Churches.
It began with two acting mad families, a professional actor and a wish by Lavinia to play Madame Arcati ‘just one more time’!
Now Lavinia has hung up her coat and the venue has moved from Southwood to Wincroft, the company believes it's time for change and we're delighted to introduce ourselves as the Easton Garden Players in 2025.
