2013 was a big year for us. We celebrated our 40th anniversary and with your help reached our ‘Fit for 40’ fundraising campaign target of £80,000 which we have ploughed back into the Brewery by refurbishing the theatre and installing state-of-the-art technical equipment. We will be putting these new facilities to good use this spring as we once again welcome an exciting line-up of the most innovative and popular theatre companies, musicians and comedians around.
