Walton Playhouse - The building which has survived as The Playhouse for seventy years, was built by Cecil Hepworth, Head of Hepworth Film Studios, as the power house for the film studios, which was one of the first indoor studios and one of the first to use artificial light. When the studios closed in 1924, the equipment was sold. The building was bought by George Carvill, the architect who had designed the building and an enthusiast of amateur theatre. He designed a raked stage, wings, dressing rooms, orchestra pit, lounge and bar so that Walton would have a local theatre. Today it is used as a community theatre allowing the auditorium hall use for ballet etc. In 1991 the building was under threat of demolition, but such was the public outcry that the Elmbridge Arts Council relented, and its use continues.

The Riverhouse Barn is an arts venue built around an 18th century barn on the river in Walton-on-Thames. Opened to the public in 1989, it is a performance space, art gallery, craft studio, café-bar and garden with free on-site parking.
