A decade ago it had looked as though we might close with local authority cuts. We became an independent charitable trust in April 2016; 10 years later we're still here! Last Friday we had a reception to celebrate and thank everyone who has helped in our success. Thank you all!😀

Last weekend we had an amazing set of sell-out performances, recreating the 1660 Trials of the Regicides in the atmospheric surroundings of an historic courtroom. Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially the brilliant cast from @Sealed_Knot.
