Woolstore Theatre

Located in the village of Codford St Peter, southeast of Warminster, Wiltshire. On the High Street, across from the George Hotel. The old Wool Store was converted into the Empire Cinema around 1906. It proved entertainment for Australian troops stationed nearby during World War I.

Following the end of the war in 1918, it was closed and converted into the village hall. In 1928 it was converted into a playhouse theatre.

During World War II it was taken over by the military. It reopened in 1948 as a theatre again with no specific name. In 1955 it was taken over by the Woolstore County Theatre Club. It continues to be a live theatre known as the Woolstore Theatre today.

It has been designated a Grade II Listed building.
