The theatre is formed from living willow trees that have been woven together from a design by Dr Rebecca Heaton. It seats an audience of around 150 people. The theatre was formally opened on 22 April 2007.

The associated theatre company is Shakespeare Link and plays by William Shakespeare are performed among others. The theatre also hosts workshops.
