Transport Subsidy Scheme
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Transport Subsidy Scheme, designed to make theatre more accessible to thousands of local school pupils and community groups. This exciting partnership with Xelabus, reflects our commitment to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to experience the magic of live theatre.
The Transport Subsidy Scheme has been created to help schools and community groups overcome the financial barriers associated with attending theatre, particularly the high costs of transportation. This initiative supports the belief that theatre is for everyone, aligning with the UK Theatre’s Theatre for Every Child campaign, which highlights the importance of theatre visits for schools.
