Tideswell Community Players, the amateur theatre group of Tideswell in the Peak District, was formed in 1929. They performed their first play Ambrose Applejohn's Adventure by Walter Hackett in 1930. The group has performed plays since then, with only the occasional break. Celebrating 75 years of productions in 2005 with the classic thriller Wait Until Dark, the group also promotes professional theatre and music in the village through Tideswell Theatre
