Welcome

… to The New Hardy Players. You will find information about our up-and-coming events on our present and future productions page. We’re a friendly group and we’re always happy to welcome new people, so if you think you might like to get involved, either backstage or treading the boards, please get in touch. You can find more details here.

The New Hardy Players formed in 2005, at the request of Norrie Woodhall on her 100th birthday, to celebrate the work of Dorset’s world famous and much loved author and poet Thomas Hardy.

Over the past eight years, the Players have raised £31,000 for the Weldmar Hospicecare Trust, and £12,000 for local charities. We also helped the Dorset County Museum raise £58,000 to bring unique Hardy manuscripts back home to Dorset.
