About Us
The Moffat Theatre Trust is a Scottish charity dedicated to providing a vibrant cultural hub for the local community. Our intimate venue hosts a variety of events, from theatre plays and pantomimes to concerts, choir performances, and film screenings. We also offer the unique opportunity to hire our theatre for private events, creating memorable experiences for all who attend.
Whilst there was a dramatic society that existed in Moffat in the 1920s this came to an end. Then in 1951 a group of young friends decided it was time that Moffat had the next amateur dramatic society, Upper Annandale Dramatic Society (UADS) as it was to become known. From rehearsing in each others houses, booking halls, shop space , legion space , booking the town hall for performances, 1967 saw the committee of the society buy the old hall, on Old Well Road that had stood along side a church that had just been demolished. This is where Moffat Theatre stands today having been extended since then, allowing for a bigger stage , back stage , bar, green room, and dressing rooms. For many years the UADS became Old Well Theatre. 2024 sees another new chapter with a new name of MOFFAT THEATRE. Moffat Theatre no longer has any affiliation to any sites / social pages containing the previous name of Old Well Theatre which are now used by private individuals. We hope this name change will enable new visitors and audience members to be able to find us with ease.
Moffat Theatre is run by a group of trustees and committee members, and all minutes of meetings and policies are available on request.
