The Plough arts centre on Fore Street in the centre of Great Torrington.

The Plough Arts Centre is a theatre, cinema and art gallery in Torrington, north Devon, England.

The Plough is situated in a former Territorial Army drill hall on Fore Street in the centre of Torrington.

The Plough was founded in 1975. The venue was named "The Plough" after a public house which had stood on the site during the nineteenth century.

In 1991 financial problems threatened The Plough with closure: it was saved through a merger with the nearby Beaford Centre. Beaford withdrew in 2002, and The Plough is now again independent.

Workshops

The Plough Arts Centre runs many creative workshops for people of all ages and is the home of the Plough Youth Theatre now in their 6th Year. The seniors and juniors have recently performed Our Day Out.
