Playhouse Rebuild Fund
Campaign by Kimpton Players (RCN 265243)
Built in the 1960s, our Playhouse is vital for our charity to continue. The roof, has been deteriorating for a number of years now. Despite our best efforts and numerous repairs, it has come to the point where the building needs to be replaced.

Story

The Kimpton Players is a successful amdram group founded in 1943 - Eric Morecambe was a past president. The Kimpton Players Playhouse, our rehearsal building, urgently needs replacing. £100,000 is the estimated cost. We have planning permission and are now commencing a major fundraising campaign. This cycle ride is part of that.

The Rebellion Way is an historic circular cycle route around Norfolk - see map. It will be a 5 day ride:

Day 1: Kimpton to Rickinghall - 44 miles. This is an 8 mile ride to Stevenage station. Train from Stevenage to Norfolk followed by a 36 mile cycle to Rickinghall.

Day 2: Rickinghall to Swaffham - 49 miles - via Thetford and Mundford.

Day 3: Swaffham to Hunstanton - 48 miles - via Bawsey and Castle Rising

Day 4: Hunstanton to Blakeney - 46 miles - via Burnham Market and Little Walsingham

Day 5: Blakeney to Norwich - 66 miles - via Sheringham, Erpington and Hoveton

On Day 6 I will train back to Stevenage and cycle 8 miles to Kimpton.
