Theatre Peckham launches its 40th Anniversary Augmented Reality Scavenger Hunt!
Are you ready to discover 40 years of local stories?
Theatre Peckham has partnered with immersive technology company Replayar to take theatre beyond the walls of the building and into our community through an augmented reality scavenger hunt!
Turning Peckham, Camberwell and Southwark into a giant ‘playable district’, players can unlock archive material, memories and stories connected to Theatre Peckham’s four decades at the heart of South East London life. Follow a live digital map and collect 40 virtual tokens hidden across the area, revealing archive photographs, videos, behind-the-scenes content and community stories celebrating Theatre Peckham’s 40-year history.

Our CEO and Artistic Director, Dr Suzann McLean MBE, says:
“For 40 years, Theatre Peckham has been shaped by the people, stories and places around it. We wanted to find a way to celebrate that history while also looking to the future. As theatres across the country think about how they engage audiences beyond traditional performances, we wanted to experiment with a new form of storytelling that combines digital technology, place and participation. This project allows audiences to experience Theatre Peckham’s story in the community where that story was created.”
Jay Huddy, Replayar Co-Founder, says:
“Replayar is deeply honoured to partner with such a remarkable cultural institution and to introduce new generations to Theatre Peckham through immersive augmented reality. Turning the streets of Peckham into a living map celebrating 40 years of creativity and community has been a labour of love.”
