The festival is held in Woking , Surrey , in the Rhoda McGaw Theatre ( within The Ambassadors , Peacock Centre ) . The theatre seats 228 in 9 rows of raked seating and has been reported to have excellent acoustics . The stage is flat , 58 ’ wide from wall to wall , with a 36 ’ curtain opening . From the main tabs it is 19 ’ back to the cyclorama and 8 ’ forward to the front of the stage . The theatre has also been used by the WDA to host the British All Winners Festival on those occasions when it has been invited to do so by the National Drama Festivals Association ( the next time will be in July 2009 ) . This is an affiliated theatre of the New Victoria Theatre , a commercial touring house owned and run by Ambassador Theatre Group ( ATG ) . The venue has a unique relationship with the local council , whereby the council handles all the administration for the theatre , with the staffing and technical facilities run by the ATG . The council hires the theatre for four weeks each year to present professional touring productions ( mostly one person shows ) , with the rest programmed by the WDA and local dance and drama schools
