The site’s most ancient building, probably the only remaining part of the medieval Merton Priory. Till 1970 Liberty’s used it to mix their dyes for silk printing, hence its name. Since 1995 it has had a new life as a miniature theatre, staging over 2,000 drama performances and more than 400 concerts.

The Colour House Children’s Theatre is truly one of a kind. There are shows every weekend, lasting about an hour and aimed at everyone over the age of three. With the Colour House Theatre School for children, and regular classical and world music concerts, the Colour House perfectly blends the performing arts with the craft traditions of Merton Abbey Mills.

There are now exciting plans to upgrade and expand the Colour House Theatre with a new foyer, while preserving its precious character.
