About FDS
Bringing drama to Farnborough Village for over 75 years.
Who We Are
Farnborough Dramatic Society (FDS) is a very friendly and well-established amateur dramatic group located in Farnborough Village, just outside Orpington, Kent.
We meet Tuesday evenings 8–10 pm at Farnborough Village Hall. Our yearly season starts late-August/early-September and runs through to late-May, during which we stage an Autumn, Winter and late-Spring production.
Over the decades we have performed everything from classic thrillers and Agatha Christie mysteries to warm-hearted comedies, farces, and serious drama. Our audiences return year after year, and many of our members have been with us for decades.
