A community space and multi-purpose arts venue. Whether you are looking for music\, theatre\, comedy nights\, lectures\, conferences or even weddings\, it is the venue for you. \n\n\n\nThe Corn Exchange\, Witney\, was built by the private Corn Exchange Company in 1863\, replacing a 16th-century building used in the 1850s as a corn returns office. This beautiful stone building was designed by architect J. Collier of Putney in an Italianate style and\, by 1875\, was Witney’s leading building. \n\n\n\nFrom the outset\, it was used for social events and meetings as well as corn dealings and housed several clubs and societies. The building continues to fulfil this purpose and will continue to do so in the future. \n\n\n\nWith the 19th-century building incorporating all the character you would expect\, plus the addition of modern facilities\, and not forgetting the in-house café and bar 1863\, The Corn Exchange is a destination and focal point for the people of West Oxfordshire and beyond. \n\n\n\nDiscover more about the Corn Exchange\, Witney\, including travel\, access and venue information.

But his blue eyes are red-rimmed with memories and regret. He drinks ‘One For My Baby’ too many when things take an unexpected twist. This is the 2.00am Sinatra you dream of meeting – dangerous\, unpredictable\, brilliant. \n\n\n\nRegrets? He’s had a few. Sinatra gathers a few friends together in the Purple Room at Palm Springs to sing a few songs around the piano\, smoke a few cigarettes and reminisce. As the Jack Daniels goes down\, the memories surface. He rails against the iniquities of Mafia allegations\, a trail of broken love affairs\, a life as the leader of the Rat Pack and a life in Hollywood littered with indiscretions and even a suicide attempt. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of it is the great love of his life\, Ava Gardner – arguably the most beautiful actress in Hollywood and known as ‘The Body’. She’s no pushover and meets him drink for drink and punch for punch as he recalls the heartbreak of their doomed love affair and marriage. \n\n\n\nDespite it all\, Sinatra emerges triumphant in a belting rendition of ‘That’s Life!’\, summing up the substance of the man\, and we see what made him such an enduring icon. \n\n\n\nRichard Shelton’s masterful take on Ol’ Blue Eyes is a must-see. Pitched somewhere between concert and confessional\, this modest show has greatness in it. Shelton’s vocals are remarkable\, manifesting not only Sinatra’s sliding rhythms and nuanced phrasing but also the timbre of that famous instrument. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“His voice wraps you up. It helps that the Sinatra songbook contains pure gold. But\, again\, the veracity of Shelton’s flinty performance adds a fillip to his interpretations of the music.” \nThe Times\n\n\n\n\n“This show packs a surprising emotional punch and Shelton delivers terrific versions of Sinatra’s greatest hits. No wonder the production sells out all over the world.” \nThe Spectator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices include a £1.00 Restoration Levy\, a £1.25 Booking Fee and a 25p Community Fund Levy. \n\n\n\nDuration:110 munites\, including an interval. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kenton Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nSituated in the centre of Henley-on-Thames\, the Kenton Theatre is the fourth-oldest working theatre in the UK and a registered charity.
