Arts and Culture
If you’re interested in the arts, Hadlow has a wide range of clubs and activities from calligraphy to amateur dramatics.
If you would like your club or society to appear in these listings, please contact the Parish Council office.
Hadlow Amateur Dramatics
Hadlow Amateur Dramatic Society (HADS). As our title suggests we are an “Am Dram” society based in Hadlow in Kent and have been established for over 30 years. We have since grown to produce a variety of shows, ranging from Old Time Musical to Variety Shows and Comedy Plays to Sketch Shows. Every year we run a pantomime and a “Spring Show”. All our shows play at Hadlow Village Hall, but we also tour with our Murder Mystery Evenings, for which we are available for hire.
We meet most Mondays at Hadlow Village Hall.
