EP Builders Awarded Major Community Project – Everyman Theatre Education Centre, Cheltenham

We’re proud to announce that EP Builders has been appointed as the contractor for the transformation of the former building on Grove Street, West Cheltenham, into the new Everyman Theatre Education & Community Centre — part of the theatre’s £1 million “Grove Street Appeal”.

Project overview

• The building facing Grove Street will undergo a full refurbishment to become a vibrant, inclusive creative-arts hub, opening Spring 2026.
• The centre will provide space for the Everyman’s education and community programmes, reaching over 22,000 people each year, including under-served groups.
• By redeveloping this facility, EP Builders will help expand access to arts, improve wellbeing through creative engagement, and support the theatre’s mission of reinvesting profits into the community.

Why this matters

At EP Builders we believe in construction not just for buildings but for community impact. This contract reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, meaningful projects that make a difference locally. Working with the Everyman Theatre lets us bring our expertise to a scheme with heart—where the built environment supports creativity, inclusion and wellbeing.

What EP Builders will deliver

• A full building refurbishment: structure, internal finishes, services and community spaces.
• Collaborative work alongside the Everyman’s team to ensure the new centre meets its ambitions for access, creativity and flexibility.
• On-time, on-budget delivery aiming for a Spring 2026 handover, enabling the theatre’s outreach work to grow.
