supporting Lee Mack back in 2010; the
superb duo Gilmore and Roberts recently
nominated for Best Duo in the BBC 2
Radio Folk Awards and the return visit from
the crazy Circus of Horrors, one definitely
not for the faint-hearted. I really hope that
many of you will see something a little
different that catches your eye this season
and give it a go!
A new venture for us this summer will be
our first festival ‘Lights Alive’. The Lights
will open its doors from 1st-3rd July with
a wide range of music available in the
arena which will carry on late into the night,
kicking off with the brilliant local band The
Torn Off Strips on the Friday night. Creative
workshops will be in abundance to ensure
little ones are kept busy and outside you
will find a range of markets, art fairs and
street food. We will also welcome local
breweries with a range of ales and ciders.
We really hope that you will join us and
support this new venture - it is going to be
very exciting!
Be sure to keep an eye out for lots of
exciting activities coming up at The Lights
as we head towards our 10th Anniversary
in October 2016.

General Information
Welcome to our newly designed brochure,
we really hope you like the changes we
have made and enjoy having a read
through everything we have in store for you.
As the weather starts to get a little warmer
and we start to see a hint of spring, why
not treat yourself to a visit to your local
theatre to see one of the many great
shows and events in our new season. We
have seen a significant growth in our new
customers over the last few months, with
over 300 new customers in January alone.
Many shows have been selling out and I
am pleased to report that we achieved an
overall occupancy in January of 85%, one
of our highest to date and way above the
national average of 66% for comparable
venues.
Our summer season is always a quieter one
than the autumn and spring as once again
many of our talented amateur dramatic
groups, schools and dance troupes take
the opportunity to stage their own shows
at The Lights. In May, Andover Musical
Theatre Company bring their very own
production of the popular musical Sister
Act to The Lights, and with tickets already
selling well, demand is sure to be high.
Highlights of the new season include
Simon Evans who first came to The Lights
