We are a theatre, an arthouse cinema, a gallery and a concert hall. We are a resource for our community, but we are also a professional venue, welcoming over 55,000 customer visits every year. We are something unique, but we are also different things to different people. We are the cause and subject of many arguments and debates, and a fair amount of acclaim and affection. We are complicated and a little eccentric. We are not a little theatre. We like to make a big noise.
Around our artistic programme we support our rural community. The central commitment of our community programme is to build long-term relationships and to transform lives through culture and creativity. Underlying this desire for equality of access to arts and culture is our ladder of engagement programme – a series of steps to develop long-term relationships designed with and for communities who might not usually access the arts to broaden participation.
