In 2011 the Langdon Down Museum of Learning Disability was established to contribute to the public understanding of the work of Dr John Langdon Down at Normansfield and Earlswood where he was Medical Superintendent before moving to Normansfield. Normansfield Theatre will be open to the public as part of the museum opening in early 2012.

Normansfield Theatre hosts an events programme with a broad range of activities. Operas, charity musical concerts, choirs and drama productions have taken place in 2011. The theatre is also hired regularly for musical recitals, orchestra groups and other drama groups.
