Walpole Park - site of proposed Troubadour Theatre

Proposed Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park: our response

Ealing Wildlife Group are deeply concerned by the proposed plans to construct a 1,200-seat Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park. To be clear from the outset, this is not an argument against theatre, culture or investment in Ealing. We love the idea of Ealing becoming an even greater cultural destination. But we should not have to sacrifice precious public green space and wildlife habitat to achieve it. We therefore stand alongside Ealing Parks Foundation in strongly opposing the proposed location of the Troubadour Theatre in Walpole Park.

Ben Barrett – EWG’s new chair, in his own words

As the new Chair of Ealing Wildlife Group, I would like to thank Sean and all past and present officers and volunteers who have helped build EWG into the powerful force for conservation and community engagement it is today. I am privileged to be supporting the next phase of the group’s work.
