About

Bolsover Drama Group is an amateur dramatics group based in north Derbyshire. The group was formed in 1981 and has flourished into one of Derbyshire’s largest amateur dramatics groups.

In an average year we perform four productions – a musical, a pantomime, a play and a youth section musical. We also take part in variety evenings and a number of social events throughout the year.

The group also has a youth section catering for members under the age of 18.

If you are interested in joining then please get in touch – we don’t audition for members, anyone can take part, regardless of their ability.
