The Plough Arts Centre, Torrington

The Plough Arts Centre, Torrington

The Plough Arts Centre is a theatre, cinema and art gallery in Torrington, north Devon, England.

The Plough is situated in a former Territorial Army drill hall on Fore Street in the centre of Torrington.

The Plough was founded in 1975. The venue was named "The Plough" after a public house which had stood on the site during the nineteenth century.

In 1991 financial problems threatened The Plough with closure: it was saved through a merger with the nearby Beaford Centre.

Beaford withdrew in 2002, and The Plough is now again independent.
