The Exmouth Players were founded by the late Jessie Blackmore in the 1928 and productions were mostly staged at the Exmouth Pavilion. Rehearsals were at the Royal Beacon Hotel and they met socially in a Nissen Hut in the grounds of the "Cranford Club."
A Billiard hall became vacant in Bicton Street and Miss Blackmore purchased this building and leased it out to the players. Hence the name "Blackmore Theatre"
In 1984 the Blackmore Theatre was granted a theatre license and all productions have been held there ever since. These include a Pantomime in Jan, Plays in March, June, August, October.
Since 1979 the Players have hosted a 1 Act Play Festival and the Professional Adjudicators from all over the country have fallen in love with this unique little theatre.
At the turn of the Millennium, The Exmouth Players had purchased the theatre and the dream that began in a Nissen hut in the grounds of the Cranford Club has become a reality.
