Troubadour Theatres Ltd
Ealing Council has rejected plans for Troubadour Theatres Ltd to operate a temporary theatre in Walpole Park, following resident opposition.
Ealing Council rejected plans for Troubadour Theatres Ltd to lease a section of Walpole Park for a temporary theatre on 14 October 2026. This decision followed significant opposition from residents, with over 8,000 signatures on petitions, and concerns raised by Councillor Connie Hersch about noise, loss of public access, and displacement of Ealing Summer Festivals.
The rejection overturns an earlier agreement in principle by Ealing Council's Cabinet on 9 September 2026, which had authorised granting a lease for the temporary theatre and music venue. Troubadour Theatres Ltd is a company involved in theatre production and venue management, proposing a temporary venue.
