The Rhoda McGaw Theatre in Woking was built in 1975. It was named after local councillor Rhoda McGaw, who played a key role in promoting theatre and the arts in the community. The theatre continues to serve as an important venue for local theatre groups, semi-professional productions, and community performances.
The venue has a seating capacity of about 228.
While the Rhoda McGaw Theatre was built in 1975, the New Victoria Theatre was constructed later in 1992 as part of a major redevelopment of The Peacocks Centre in Woking.
How Did This Happen?
Original Construction (1975): The Rhoda McGaw Theatre was built first as a standalone venue, serving local theatre groups and community performances.
The Peacocks Centre Redevelopment (1992): When Woking underwent a major town centre redevelopment in the early 1990s, the New Victoria Theatre was built as part of the new Peacocks Centre complex. Instead of demolishing the Rhoda McGaw Theatre, the new theatre was designed around it, incorporating it into the same entertainment hub.
Even though they were built at different times, they now share the same overall structure and are managed together under ATG (ATG Entertainment).
