Chippenham Youth Theatre present The Wizard of Oz
2026-03-16 19:00, 2026-03-17 19:00 | The Neeld
Chippenham Youth Theatre presents…
Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Of course, along the way, Dorothy encounters witches (both good and bad), Munchkins, talking trees and winged monkeys. But most importantly, she befriends three unique characters: a Scarecrow with no brain, a Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no “nerve.” Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
Tickets: Standard £15 | Concession £12 (under 16s / over 70s / disabled)
Age Restrictions: None
Please contact the venue for any access requirements.
Tickets are also available through our Box Office on 01249 446699, from the Neeld Box Office or at the Town Hall.
Tickets are non-refundable unless this event is cancelled or postponed.
There are some amazing local spots to dine at before the performance, so why not treat yourself to a delicious pre-show meal? The Angel Hotel is offering 20% off food only* for guests attending shows at The Neeld. Simply present your ticket for that day’s performance to the staff at The Angel and they will apply the 20% discount*.

This weekend always promises to be an amazing day out exploring the equipment, military life and home front culture experienced by many during World War II. Every year the event gets bigger and better, with more re-enactment groups and exciting performances.
Visit this Victory-worthy 1940s event featuring:

1940s costume and decoration
Re-enactors and living history groups telling the stories of those who lived, served and fought in WW2
WW2-era vehicles from the museum’s Reserve Vehicle Collection, private collectors and enthusiasts around the country
‘Live’ demonstrations of WW2 equipment, including firearms, munitions and more (subject to groups attending and availability of equipment)
Wartime musical performances from Jayne Darling
1940s dance performances and opportunities to join in with White Horse Swing

Refreshments will be available to purchase from Crown’s Café, which will only be open to visitors with a ticket to the event.
Free parking will be available in the museum’s large car park, visitors are asked to please reserve a parking space if you need one in advance. Blue Badge spaces are available on a first-come-first-served basis and you must have reserved a parking space online. If you can, please consider travelling by alternative means.
Dogs are welcome on the museum grounds but are not allowed inside the building, with the exception of assistance dogs.
Please be aware that during the Wartime Britain event, there may be loud noises from ‘live’-firing of firearms which could scare dogs visiting. Check the schedule and event map on the day to make preparations for these times.

Baby and Toddler Day at Chippenham Library
2026-05-15 09:30 - 12:30 | Chippenham Library
Discover local services and support for you and your pre-schooler at our Baby & Toddler Day on Friday 15 May, 9:30-12:30.
Lots of freebies and advice.
See poster for details.

Could you be a local history detective?
2026-05-16 09:00 - 17:00 | Chippenham Library
Join local historian Lucy Whitfield at Chippenham library for a local history trail.
Hunt throughout the building, and the shelves, for clues to piece together the history of two local Chippenham characters. And be in the running for a special chocolate prize.
Hidden amongst the shelves in the library will be clues to these two special characters of Chippenham – Margaret Griffin and Ann Colborne – and your job is to find all the information and put together their stories.
You can follow the story of Ann or Margaret, or even look at them both.
And there’s two ways to look too – a simpler trail for families (under-14s), and a more in-depth trail for individuals (15-adults) which involves more research in the library – so suitable for anyone and everyone who’s interested in the history of our fabulous town.
There’ll be four chances of a chocolate prize – each drawn from the families and from the individual answers of both the Ann trail and the Margaret trail, so lots to play for.
Can YOU discover the trail and piece the clues together?
Completely free. No need to book.

This event is part of the Chippenham – Our History project. Find out more on this website here.
