What’s OnOct - Dec 2021

For the first time since before the COVID-19 crisis, we are back with a brand new what’s on brochure for you to enjoy and see what events we have coming up between now and December.

Soup and a Sandwich screenings are back, so for £10 not only do you get a ticket to watch the film, but you get soup and a sandwich an hour before the film starts. Not hungry? Then for £5 you can just come in and watch the film.

For families we’ve got a selection of half-term events and screenings from our outdoor Pumpkins in the Park to our Lowther Drive-in cinema. Of course, no family programme would be complete without a pantomime and this year we are excited to be presenting Sleeping Beauty.

Welcome backLooking to find out more about how you can support us as a charity? Then jump to page 22 were you can learn more.

We understand that some of you may be hesitant to return to indoor live performances, but we can assure you that your safety is of the utmost importance to us. We are continuing to encourage the wearing of masks whilst moving around the building and we’ve also updated our Audience Information Sheet (see our website) with additional information on our safety procedures going forwards.

We’re excited to have you back in the building and we look forward to welcoming you.
