WELCOME
We made it through winter! If you were one of the 4000+ people who joined us for our two pantos you’ll know how warm, festive and cosy we got at the Hall… now it’s time for the sun to peek out from behind those rain clouds and for us to reveal our Spring season.
I’ve been fortunate enough to be General Manager here for a year now, and I can honestly say that we have the best volunteers in the country. We simply couldn’t operate without this small army of volunteers who sell the tickets, usher the audience, pour the beers, operate the follow-spots, balance the books, engage with the community... you name it, they do it.
If you’ve ever thought of joining us, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s to meet new people, learn fresh skills, improve your health and wellbeing, or for the thrill of being a part of the creative arts, volunteering is rewarding and enjoyable. To find out more, email our Volunteer Coordinator, Pauline, at volunteer@becclespublichall.com.
Now, flip through the next 33 pages and feast your eyes on the massive programme of events we’ve put together for you; something for everyone, that everyone can afford.
See you at the bar!
Elliott Wilshier General Manager
